How Kneeling Exercises Can Be Invaluable For Restoring Hip & Pelvic Stability

We all know that the best way to enhance movement is with exercises in a standing position for these exercises relate more specifically to how we function in daily life. From improving stability, strength, and even sporting skills of speed and power the best exercises are all performed standing up. But what if you are unable to complete these exercises due to an injury or weakness? What do you do now? Sure, you could do exercises lying and sitting but these exercises do not require much stability as this is taken out of the equation by the floor or a chair which also means they do not address the lack of stability causing pain or dysfunction. This is where kneeling exercises can provide amazing benefits for they can simplify a movement enough to remove the need for strength and coordination, but not so much that the need for stability is lost. In some cases, the stability demand is even greater with kneeling positions which can provide significant benefits to the core taking pressure off the hips and the spine. There is no doubt that kneeling exercises are very under-rated and more useful than many people realize.
