Physio Pilates In Surry Hills, Sydney BRIDGE VARIATIONS - GLUTEAL BRIDGES ON THE PILATES REFORMER The single leg Bridge exercise is a more challenging exercise to engage and strengthen the "posterior chain muscles", which are the muscles along the back of our hip, leg and spine. We often want to target these muscles during the rehab program for many hip, hamstring, leg and low back injuries. While you can do the normal bridge exercise just on the floor, adding in the Pilates Reformer bed gives us many ways to mix it up to target different muscles and make the exercise more challenging and fun. Once you have mastered the double leg version, progressing to this single leg version will keep boosting your strength. Progressing from double leg to single leg reformer bridges is a great example of how changing the exercise technique and movement demands allows us to keep building muscle strength and endurance using variations of the same exercise. It also stops you getting bored and stagnant just doing more reps of the same exercise. This video shows the progression of strengthening the glute muscles at the back of your hip. We often use this exercise for hip joint pain, gluteal tendinopathy, low back and pelvis pain, and also some hamstring and other leg injuries. Start with 3 sets of 10 reps, and build up as you feel stronger and more confident. Sometimes you need to mx up double and single leg bridges initially, if its too hard to do all your reps with only 1 leg.
