One-Quarter Squats:

 Stand with your feet shoulder length

upright, squat one-quarter of the way down and return.

 From a standing position, place your hands 

on your hips and step forward 2-3 feet with your affected leg.

mately 90 degrees. Control your downward motion, then press 

hard to reverse your motion and stand back up.
