Rupture of the superficial hip flexor – Step 1

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

The time in minutes indicates the time distribution between stretching, balance and strength if you train for one hour.
Whether you train for one hour or 10 minutes, for example, is adapted to your starting point – and can be increased over time.

Condition

Stretching

25 min

Lie on your back. Hold the back of your knee with both hands. Pull your working leg up towards your head, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your hamstring. Perform the exercise with both a straight and a bent knee. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then do the same exercise on the other leg.

Stand on one leg. Support yourself with one hand against a wall or chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp your foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot upwards and your knee slightly backwards, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.

Stå ved at krydse træningsbenet strakt ind bagved støttebenet samtidig med, du bøjer dig ud til siden ud over træningsbenet, så der kommer tiltagende udspænding af ydersiden af låret. Hold udspændingen i 20 sekunder. Gentag øvelse skiftevis på højre og venstre ben

Lie on your back with one leg stretched out. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the opposite side of the stretched leg. Use both hands to pull your knee towards the opposite shoulder, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your buttock. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Sit on your left knee and right foot. Bend your right leg at a 90-degree angle at the hip and knee. Extend your left knee as far back as possible, with your foot raised and resting on a small box. Push your hips forwards and downwards without arching your lower back, so that you feel a gradual stretch at the front of your hip. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Stand with your legs apart. Keep one leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side onto the bent leg, so that you feel a gradual stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Stand up straight with your hands on your hips. Gently arch your back and press down slightly with your hands to deepen the arch, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your abdominal muscles. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Coordination

5 min

Hold balancen på to ben på vippebrættet. Støt i starten med hånden mod væggen. Senere holdes balancen på ét ben uden støtte. Prøv senere at holde balancen med lukkede øjne.

Strength

35 min

Fastgør en træningselastik i hoftehøjde foran dig. Sid på stol med ansigtet mod træningselastikken. Træningselastikken føres om anklen. Løft og stræk benet. Bøj herefter langsomt knæet, så træningselastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og stræk langsomt knæet igen.

Sid på stol med begge ben hvilende på en skammel. Løft det ene ben lidt over skamlen med maksimal bøjet fod og hold stilling i 10 sek. Slap af og gentag øvelsen med modsatte ben. Gentag øvelsen med skiftevis højre og venstre ben.

Fastgør en træningselastik 10 cm over gulvhøjde. Stå med ansigtet mod træningselastikken. Før elastikken om træningsbenet mellem knæ og ankel (jo længere nede jo kraftigere er belastningen). Før langsomt benet tilbage, så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt benet frem til udgangspositionen.

Fastgør en træningselastik 10 cm over gulvhøjde. Stå med siden mod træningselastikken med træningsbenet tættest på elastikken. Før elastikken om træningsbenet. Placer elastikken mellem knæ og ankel (jo længere nede jo kraftigere er belastningen). Før langsomt benet til siden (ind foran støttebenet), så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt benet frem til udgangspositionen.

“Lying pelvic lift”. Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lift your pelvis and lower back off the floor and hold the position for a few seconds. Your back and thighs should be in a straight line. Slowly lower your pelvis back down.

Lie on your back with your hands on your chest. Bend your knees. Lift your upper body off the floor. Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly lower your upper body back down. Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the exercise.

“The Clam”. Lie on your side with your hips and knees bent, with the working leg on top. Rotate slightly forwards so that your navel is pointing towards the floor. Lift the top knee away from the bottom knee, keeping your feet together.
