Overview

In this lesson, we introduce PAILS and RAILS for hip abduction.

Objective

Gain understanding of how to actively load and strengthen your end-range hip abduction.

What You'll Get

You'll learn to build strength at the outer edge of your abduction range, which is essential for controlling wide-leg poses and lateral movement. For your own practice, this deepens side splits and improves stability in standing balances. For professionals working with clients, it's a method for training functional hip strength that transfers to sports, gait, and injury prevention.
