This month find a comfortable place to I will lay on you back with your knees bent, feet standing. bring your right knee in align it so the leg is coming straight out of you hip joint. Bend the knee and let the front of you leg and foot fold down so your calf is touching the back of your thigh. Place your hand on your knee and start making little circles. This will be the top of you leg (ball and socket joint) moving inside your pelvis. Make about 10 circles one way and 10 the other way.

Notice which way the circles were easier, if they were circular or another shape. Put you foot back on the floor and notice the difference from one side to the other.
