relaxation
relaxation
sway stability
Transverse Abdominal
neural mobility whilst maintaining trunk stability
bilateral boards: moving one leg whilst maintaining the position of the other leg and trunk (best done in deep water) abduction/adduction, flexion/extension
flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction
endurance
balance and control (proprioception)
leg kick with trunk rotational stability + protraction/retraction
trunk stability + arm flexion/extension, abduction/adduction
rotation of legs and partial rotation of trunk (maintaining control at all times) : may use a 'noodle' in the hands instead of the boards if there is discomfort in the wrists
