Banded hip flexion in standing

An resisted exercise for hip flexion in weight-bearing.

• start by standing in a neutral position, with a resistance band around both ankles
• on the leg that will stay on the ground, you can place the band partly under the heel of the foot to help keep it from sliding upwards
• while maintaing a neutral spine, lift the opposite leg as if you are marching on the spot, lifting as high as comfortable
• return to the starting position
• repeat as needed
• NOTE: hold on to a stable post or counter for support, if needed
