Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips. Keeping your back straight and your knees slightly bent, push your bottom backwards and lean forward from the hips, as if closing a car door with your bottom. Stand tall again by squeezing your buttocks.
If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
