Lay on your side with your injured leg on top. Keep your
uninjured leg straight and raise your injured leg up slowly
as far as you can go. Hold for 3 seconds. Slowly lower your
leg. Relax. Do 3 sets, 10 repetitions.
Optional Water Weight Abduction Exercises:
Fill both sides of the weight bag with equal amounts of
water. Start at 1 pound on each side and increase
amount as you increase strength. Put your forefoot
through the hole in the weight bag and drape the water
bag around the foot and ankle of your injured leg.
Do exercise as instructed above.
