Bridging

A bridge exercise isolates and strengthens your gluteus (butt) muscles - the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus - and hamstrings, which are the main muscles that make up the posterior chain. It is done by lying on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the ground and at a comfortable distance from your butt.

OTHER

Split table top

DEVICE

Electrical muscle stimulation

Electric stimulation works by mimicking the natural way by which the body exercises its muscles. The electrodes attached to the skin deliver impulses that make the muscles contract. It is beneficial in increasing the patient's range of motion and improves the circulation of the body.
