A runner came in with chronic IT-band tightness after every long run. We isolated her gluteus medius with these controlled side-lying leg raises. Keeping the core engaged and hips stacked, she lifted her top leg, focusing on the outer hip muscles to fire. She left without that burning ache. 🔥 Send this to a friend who needs to strengthen their hips! . . . #fitness #wellness #workout #hipstrengthening #glutemedius #itbandsyndrome #runnersknee #physicaltherapy #legday #sidelegraises

A client came in with sharp, nagging hip pain after sitting all day, so we focused on this side-lying leg raise. By keeping her core tight and lifting the top leg straight up, she isolated her gluteus medius, a key hip stabilizer. She left feeling more stable and without that ache. 💪 Send this to a friend who needs to strengthen their hips! . . . #hipmobility #legday #gluteusmedius #sidelieinglegraises #hipstrengthening #physicaltherapy
