To Perform this PIC for Left Hip Hike:
- Move the hip into its end range position.
- ASSISTIVE technique: place left hand on the left lateral thigh pulling up toward the hip with only enough assistance to keep the hip in its end range of motion. Perform isometric contraction (trying to move in the same direction) at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
- RESITIVE technique: place left hand on the left lateral thigh pushing down-and-in with only enough pressure to perform the isometric contraction at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
