Technique

How to perform Hip Flexion with Band

  1. Secure a long loop resistance band or flat therapy band to a stable low anchor and around one ankle.
  2. Face away from the anchor and stand with your torso upright.
  3. Bend the resisted knee and draw the thigh forward and upward toward hip height.
  4. Keep the pelvis level rather than leaning backward to lift the leg.
  5. Pause briefly, then return the leg under control without allowing the band to snap it backward.
  6. Repeat on the other side.
