Video Transcript

" Hi! I am Monica and the first thing I am going to show you is range of motion stuff and it actually works both your hip and your knee really well. What you need to do is find a comfy spot on the floor or the bed and go ahead and lie down on your back. You want to make sure you have plenty of room for your feet to be moving and what you are going to do is keep this left leg bent and the right leg is what we are going to be focusing on. So you go ahead and start off with it straight and you are slowly going to be bending your knee towards your body as far as you can and then you can also go ahead and continue with your leg up right like that and then back down again. So it is a nice gentle slow range of motion you get in your knee full range of motion and also hip. So now you have your hip bent and straightening your hip, you have your knee bent and you are going to straighten your knee. Again, this is really nice and slow just to warm you up a little bit."
