Exercise library

Copenhagen adduction, short lever

The fourth phase is integration. The animation below is the same one the report's exercise programme shows.

How to do it

On your side with the top knee on the bench. Lift the pelvis until the body is in one line. ⚠️ The bottom knee stays on the floor. Stop if you feel a sharp pull in the groin.

Default dose

3 × 8 · each side

This is the library's default dose. Each person's programme is set after assessment, around the grade of their finding and their own conditions and limits.

Where it sits in a programme: Integrate

The fourth phase is integration: using the new pattern in whole, everyday movements — standing, bending, squatting, walking — so the correction does not stay on the exercise mat.

Which postural findings it is prescribed for

It appears in programmes the tool prescribes after a musculoskeletal assessment.

Take care

  • If the movement causes pain or makes pain worse, stop and contact the clinic or your doctor.
