Hello, Core and Hips!

Table of Contents

Side planks are a great core exercise and one of the best ways to strengthen your hip abductors–those muscles on the sides of your hips. But technique matters and if you’re falling into a compensation, you’re not getting the full benefits of this exercise.

Follow along as Dr. Alex helps you with your alignment and technique so you can be planking with the best of them!

At motivPT, we’ve got you covered for moving in a healthy way. If you have pain, weakness, or imbalance, consider booking with us for an online Physical Therapy routine customized to fit your individual needs. Book your free 15 minute consult to talk with Dr. Alex about your specific concerns and to learn more about how we work!

Hi, I’m Alex.
Physical Therapist
I’m a professional dancer turned physical therapist who understands how injury can disrupt how we work and play. I take a movement-focused approach and specialize in working with those who are motivated to achieve their best selves and strive to fully participate in life. I have had the opportunity to work with patients across the spectrum of care; from patients learning to walk after a stroke, patients returning to work after injury, to professional ballet dancers honing their techniques and restoring muscle imbalances. If you are someone who is driven to keep moving and not afraid to put in a little work, motivPT is right for you. I can’t wait to meet you.
