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.
