A single leg hip thrust is great for building gluteal strength and hip stability, this exercise can be adapted for all ages and activity levels. Here is how-to perform a basic single leg hip thrust.

1. Sit on the floor with your back against a sturdy bench (mid-back/shoulder blades on the bench).
2. Walk your feet out, bend one knee, placing the foot flat on the floor (this is your working leg).
3. Straighten the other leg out in front of you or keep it slightly bent, lifted off the floor.
4. Tuck your pelvis slightly, engage your abs, and keep your chin tucked to maintain a neutral spine.
5. Drive through the heel of your planted foot, pushing your hips upward.
6. Continue lifting until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
7. Pause briefly at the top, maintaining tension in the glute.
8. Slowly lower your hips back down with control.
9. Repeat for reps on one side, then switch legs.

Did you know dizziness, vertigo and unsteadiness can affect kids too??

Recent research has shown kids who have had cochlear implants, head injuries and even attentional deficits can have issues with their inner ear function. This can have great impacts on their balance, ability to play and participate in activities. The associated dizziness is not very pleasant either!

At Shoreside Physio, the Vestibular assessment and treatment is tailored appropriately to the child's needs to get the best outcome.

How to Perform a Split Squat:
1. Stand tall and take a large step forward with one foot, then step your back foot back into a staggered, split stance, keeping your feet hip-width apart and pointing forward.
2. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, bend both knees, lowering your back knee towards the floor.
3. Ensure your front knee stays directly over your ankle, not extending past your toes, and your shin remains nearly vertical.
4. Push through your front foot and drive back up to the starting standing position, maintaining your split stance.
5. Perform all reps on one side before switching, or alternate legs.
Hold dumbbells at your sides to increase resistance.
Benefits of a Split Squat Exercise:
- Allows you to progress quad and glute strengthening from double leg to single leg without need for equipment
- Adds a balance component to the exercise
- Trains functional movement patterns to assist with daily tasks such as getting up from the floor
- Can be progressed easily by adding weights, raising the back leg to transition to a Bulgarian split squat, or by going further into range
