Pelvic Stability – Crawl

 

Start Position:
Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keep your spine neutral and your core gently engaged.

Action:

  1. Reach Forward: Extend one arm forward and plant your hand firmly on the floor.
  2. Cross Diagonal: Lift the opposite knee and move it forward in a cross-body diagonal pattern.
  3. Repeat: Switch to the opposite arm and knee, creating a fluid, alternating motion.
  4. Continue the pattern, gradually building to smooth, continuous movements.

Purpose:

  • Enhances coordination and cross-body movement patterns.
  • Improves shoulder and hip mobility.
  • Promotes core and postural control.

Note of Precaution:

Focus on smooth transitions rather than speed.

Move slowly at first to maintain control and proper form.

If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consider consulting a physical therapist.
