This self-limiting exercise helps to expose a lack of motor control and bilateral asymmetries in the Tall Kneeling position.
Assisted Rolling Lower Body - Prone to Supine
This is a starting point in executing a prone to supine lower body rolling pattern when technique is compromised in a full roll. The pad aids to assist the rolling pattern by developing a downhill roll, minimizes the range of motion and helps to disassociate the lower body.
- Starting Position:
- Prone
Set-up: Place pads/cushions on the ground and lie on your stomach with half your body on the pads/cusions elevating you towards the side you will be rolling. Your arms should be overhead, feet hip-width apart. Completely relax the body from the waist up through the arms.
Action: Extend and reach your leg diagonally back across the body. The upper body remains relaxed in the start position until the lower body pulls it over about halfway through the roll and then finishes following the hips.
