Thanks Chris. Your detailed program is very helpful. I have been a bit worried about balance as my SFN progresses.

I don't know what Hip Abduction is.

I am not able to have a PT at the moment so I will have to research and create my own program. If you know of any books or online videos that are specific to stability let me know.

Again, thanks for the explanation.

Steve

Hi there, sorry it took me a while to come back.....I was on a remote vacation with spotty internet and cellular.

You may want to take a look at the Otago Exercise Program, First Edition for Strength and Balance Retraining developed by the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. I think you will find some similar exercises to the ones I have described.

Hip abduction refers to exercises that move the hip away from the body. The hip abductors are often forgotten. Yet, they help us stand, walk, and rotate our legs. So I stand facing the kitchen counter with my hands on the counter for support. Then I move the right leg straight out to the side followed by the left leg. Now......you've got it......just keep it up.

What are your goals?

May you have comfort and ease.

Chris
