Single Leg Balance With Hip Lock And Core Activation

In the video below you will see one of Principle Four Osteopathy client performing a single leg balance with hip lock (grounded leg is locked and therefore the glutes are engaged to create tension around the hip and lower limb) with the opposing leg brought to 90 degrees.  The client then actively pushes the weight they are holding fro their chest to overhead trunk position. This is a great exercise that challenges lower body stability and requires isometric tension in the hip and trunk whilst loading the upper body and trunk through the movement of the weight press/push.
