Leg Extension Toward the Pool Floor With a Pool Noodle

Description

Place a pool noodle under one foot and let the buoyancy of the water bring your knee up in front of you. Then push the pool noodle toward the bottom of the pool, gradually straightening your hip and knee. Let your leg float up between each repetition, then push down again. Use your arms to hold the pool noodle in place or to steady your balance. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your therapist, then switch legs.
