Save this — here’s how to safely work up to sitting down and standing up from the floor.

👉 Before anything:
A gentle pelvic tilt is important. This helps your core turn on, so you’re using strength — not stressing your knees or lower back.

A pelvic tilt simply means lightly tucking your pelvis.

Think:
- Zip up your pants just a little, or
- Button snug jeans before you move

Not squeezing. Not holding your breath.

Because sitting down and standing up from the floor relies heavily on core strength.
👉🏼It’s helpful to also practice simple core exercises in parallel.
👉🏼Becos a stronger core makes this movement safer and smoother over time.

🔹 Option 1 (Safe progression)
Sit → Kneel → Stand

Break this into two separate practices:

1️⃣ Sit → Halfway up → Sit back down

- Start seated
- Pelvic tilt first
- Come partway up only (do not stand fully)
- Slowly return to sitting
- Use support if needed, then less support

2️⃣ Tall kneel → Stand → Kneel back down

- Start in tall kneeling
- Stand up
- Slowly kneel back down

Practice each part on its own.

When both feel comfortable, combine them:
Sit → Kneel → Stand → Kneel → Sit.

🔹 Option 2 (Safe progression)
Sit → Stand with legs crossed

Start higher and work down gradually:

- Chair or sofa → pelvic tilt → cross legs
- Stand up with support first, then with less support
- Slowly sit back down

When ready, lower the height step by step:
chair → stool → higher step → lower step → floor

At each level:
- Pelvic tilt first
- Stand up with control
- Sit back down with control

This is about control, not speed.
