How to keep those hips strong and stable! The beauty of the standing clam
It’s time to step up your hip strength!
This week, Dr. Allison demonstrates the Standing Clam. This is a progression from the much-beloved 90 Degree Clam, and can help us dial in that hip strength
The key to the Standing Clam is to focus on the GROUNDED leg. It’s easy to think that the moving leg should get some extra love, but the grounded leg is the real star of the show.
Keep that hip and knee ROCK SOLID while going through this movement. You’ll know it’s working when your hips start to feel like they’re on fire. 🔥🔥

Allison received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Wichita State University (2022) after completing her undergrad in Kinesiology at Kansas State University.
Working as a CNA throughout her undergrad program, she saw first hand the life-long struggles that people faced with their health and wellness.
"I was motivated to get people healthy and stay that way throughout their lives. It pains me to see people struggle and feel like they're just extending their life. I want to help people improve their quality of life and thrive."
Allison takes a nuanced approach to client care and focuses on the mental as much as the physical.
"I have the chance to help clients feel stronger and more confident in their body; Help them understand how resilient and capable they really are!"
Allison is AAMT Dry Needling Certified and has a diverse range of manual therapy training in her tool kit.
Outside of seeing clients, Allison spends her time doing water sports, running and spending every opportunity outside. She tries to stay involved in the community and support local small businesses.
