Knee Raises w/ DPT Nura

Long hours of sitting tighten the hamstrings and strain the lower back. A simple toe touch helps release tension, improve posture, and keep your body aligned through the day.

Overview: A move that wakes up your core and hips, standing knee raises build strength, improve balance, and counteract the effects of long hours spent sitting.

Directions

1. Starting Position

  • Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged.

  • Place your hands on your hips or hold them out in front of you for balance.

4. Alternate Sides

  • Lift the opposite knee in the same steady motion.

2. Lift the Knee

  • Slowly raise one knee toward your chest to a comfortable height, keeping your torso upright.

  • Hold briefly at the top for 1–2 seconds.

5. Repeat

  • Continue alternating legs for 10–12 reps per side, completing 2–3 rounds.

3. Lower with Control

  • Return your foot to the floor gently without leaning or collapsing through your posture.
