Sidelying Clam – Pelvic Floor Contraction, Band

  • HOW: Begin with a band attached above the knees. Lying down on your side, bend the hips to 45 degrees. Keep the core engaged to keep space between your trunk and the ground below you. Breathe in to lengthen the area between the sits bones, relaxing the pelvic floor. As you breathe out, you’re gonna squeeze and lift that area in between our sit bones. As you breathe out, you’re gonna squeeze and lift your pelvic floor as you bring that knee up towards the ceiling and then bring it back down. 
 
  • FFEEL: You will feel your core engaged. You will feel your lateral hip, gluteus medius, engaged. 
 
  • COMPENSATION: Avoid letting the body collapse towards the ground. Avoid arching the low back.
