Wall squats with stability ball
Physical Therapy in Seattle for Knee
Stand with your back to a wall, with a large stability ball between your back and the wall at the level of your low back.
Walk your feet forward ~ 12-18 inches.
Keep your back pressed into the ball, and squat down as if you are sitting in a chair.
Do not let your knees bend past your toes.
Squeeze the buttocks and push through the heels as you return to standing.
Control the movement in both directions, do not use momentum to complete the exercise.
Hold and repeat as advised by your Core Physical Therapy Physical Therapist.
