Description

You are lying on the side of the healthy leg, with the leg to be exercised on top, the edge of the foot in contact with the other foot. A third person stands behind you to serve as a marker for the range to be reached with their hand. Raise the straight leg towards the ceiling while keeping the foot as horizontal as possible until it touches the hand of the person behind you. Make sure not to arch the back or tilt the pelvis during the movement. Then slowly return to the starting position.
