Muscle infiltration in the buttock muscles – Step 2

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.

Stretching

25 minutes of each training session

Lie on your back. Hold your knee with both hands and pull it up towards your chest, so that you feel a gradual stretch in the back of your thigh. 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.

Stand with your legs apart. Keep one leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side onto your 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 by crossing the training leg straight behind the support leg while bending out to the side over the training leg so that there is an increasing stretching of the outer thigh. Hold stretching for 20 seconds. Repeat exercise alternately on right and left leg

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

Hold the stretch for 15 seconds, then lift your upper body back to the starting position and repeat the exercise on the other side.

Coordination

5 minutes of each training session

Balance on two feet on the balance board. To begin with, use your hand to support yourself against the wall. Later, balance on one foot without support. Try holding it later balance with your eyes closed.

Lie on your back with a ball or stick under both feet. Roll the ball back and forth at a steady pace while lifting your hips.

Strength

30 minutes of each training session

Attach an exercise band at ankle height behind you. Sit on a chair with your back against the resistance band. Wrap the resistance band around your shin just above the ankle. Slowly stretch your knee to tighten the elastic band. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly bend the knee again

Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand facing the exercise band. Place the resistance band around your training leg between the knee and the ankle (the lower you place it, the greater the resistance). Slowly bring your leg back so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds, then slowly bring your leg forward to the starting position.

Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand with your side facing the exercise band, with the working leg closest to the band. Place the band around the working leg. Position the band between the knee and the ankle (the lower the position, the greater the resistance). Slowly move the leg to the side (in front of the supporting leg) so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return the leg to the starting position.

Lie on your stomach on a table. Hold the edge of the table with your hands at head height. Bend both knees. Tighten your glutes and lift your legs straight up towards the ceiling.

“Pelvic lift on one leg”. Lie on your back with the working leg bent. Lift the healthy leg. Then lift your hips off the floor, keeping your weight on the working leg. Your back and thighs should be in a straight line. Your knee should remain bent. Hold the position for a few seconds and lower your bottom again. The intensity is increased by extending the working leg further, so that the foot moves further away from the body.

Lie on your side with your lower leg bent at the hip and knee, and your working leg on top. Lie with your upper body slightly rotated forwards so that your navel is facing the floor. Tighten your glutes and lift your top leg backwards. Hold your leg raised for a few seconds, then lift it towards the ceiling.
