1. Deep hip stabiliser strengthening exercises (a) Activation of the SHS muscles in 4-point kneel with TheraBand™ resistance. The degree of difficulty can be progressed by decreasing or increasing the level of resistance, changing the speed of activation and increasing the number of repetitions. The challenge to the core can also be increased by lifting one hand off the floor in this position, and the degree of hip flexion or extension and abduction or adduction can be altered based on the needs of the athlete (b) Progression of activation of deep hip stabilisers into a closed chain position, ensuring adequate deep hip external rotators, gluteus maximus, lateral pelvic and core stability
