Hi Madeline: Would you comment of the focus of the bridge modification that you use in this video (compared to bridge with feet on equal plane)?

Really like the modifications for exercises that are quite difficult for people starting out. Great way to get the correct recruitment patterns happening right from the start.

Hi Carol, the bridge using a brick or block places the hip joint into rotation as the pelvis remains level. If the right foot is on the brick, it is in slight flexion compared to the left. The left extends more, the pelvis is level between 3 and 9 o'oclock, which places the right hip in a slight internal rotation and left external rotation. This movement is from the pelvis on the femurs. The posterior hip and stability of the trunk is challenged more. Hope this is what you felt.
Excellent program modified for ALL!
