Isometric Clamshell

Description

Lie on your side with a band positioned around your thighs, just above the knees. Ensure your thighs are aligned perpendicular to your torso. Lift the knee as high as possible without moving the pelvis or hips. Hold this position for the time indicated by your physical therapist. At the same time, apply downward pressure with the lower leg to create an isometric muscle contraction.
