HAMSTRING BRIDGE KICKS

This is an isometric hamstring strengthening exercise. It is important to maintain a neutral spine during this exercise. Be sure to extend through the hips and not the back by bracing through your core. This will help to minimize rib flare - a sign that the lumbar spine is hyperextending.

Muscles Involved:

  • Hamstrings

  • Gluteus Maximus

  • Posterior Chain / Superficial Back Line

Related Conditions:

  • Hamstrings Tear

  • Hamstrings Tendinopathy

  • Lower Cross Syndrome
