The static dynamic and reactive stabilization treatment phase:

1. Reverse curl with Swiss ball

Lie supine with back flat on the floor, head on the ground and hands 3 or 4 inches away from hips. Grip ball with lower leg and try to lift the ball quickly and lower it down slowly. Try not to let the ball rest on the floor. 10 repetitions

2. Hip extension with Swiss ball

Lie supine with legs straight and heels resting on swiss ball, hip width apart. Contract abdominals and perform hip extension by lifting the hips up until a straight line is formed from the knees to the shoulders. Movement should be initiated by contracting gluteal muscles.

3. Controlled kick outs on a bench (1 leg at a time)
