Pelvic Drop Exercise

Pelvic drop is a great exercise for hip stability, core strength and is part of a stage 2 protocol of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. (PFPS) 

The pelvic drop exercise is performed by standing with one foot on a step and one off. Lower the foot which is off to lower the pelvis and hold for 10 seconds. Then raise the hip up lifting the pelvis up as high as you can and repeat the pelvic drop process. 

PFPS is a common condition that particularly can effect runners. It has an insidious onset (gradual over time with no real incident to cause it) and can become debilitating. It normally shows itself with knee pain when squatting, knee pain after running, knee pain whilst running, knee pain when bending and knee pain after squats.

PFPS knee pain is treatable and I have put together a range of PFPS exercises. these will all be placed in a playlist or hosted on my website. https://spireinjuryclinic.com/pfps
