Pelvic control exercises


Do you find you are sitting for much of the day? Here's a set of movements to help your posture and avoid hip and pelvis pain.

The full pelvic control routine is made up of nine movements, including:

  • Knee roll
  • Pelvic tilt while lying and sitting
  • Rocking
  • Standing knee bends
  • Leg lifts

You can try all nine movements, or choose the ones that best match your needs and ability.

Other hip exercises

In this video, Neurophysiotherapist Jo Pritchard demonstrates a modified hip twist. It is best performed with something to create resistance, such as an exercise band. Remember, do check with a health professional before starting any new form of exercise.

Watch how the hip twist is done, then try it in a seated position for one minute.

If you found this exercise useful, Jo covers a range of exercises as part of her full Pilates circuit, which has been adapted for people living with MS.
