3 Way Sliders (Medial, Posterior Medial, Posterior)
HOW: While standing on the affected leg, you are going to slide the other leg in 3 different directions as you perform a single leg squat. First, you will perform a single leg squat and slide your foot to the side as far as you can. Second, slide diagonally backwards. Third, slide straight back as far as you can.
FEEL: You should feel the thigh muscles and butt muscles working in the leg that you are standing on.
COMPENSATION: Maintain equal weight distribution on the foot of the standing leg the entire time. Key here is to maintain proper alignment of the standing leg throughout each movement. Donโt let the knee collapse in or bow out. Donโt put too much pressure in the sliding foot.
