Hip Extension, Straight Leg, With a Pool Noodle

Description

Stand with your back to the edge of the pool and hold onto the edge to keep your balance. Place a pool noodle under one foot and keep your knee straight. Let your leg float up in front of you toward the surface, then push the pool noodle toward the bottom, bringing your straight leg back next to your other foot. Control the rise of your leg between each repetition. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your therapist, then switch sides.
