Physioball Hip Bridge FAQ

What muscles does Physioball Hip Bridge work?

The physioball hip bridge primarily targets the gluteus maximus and secondarily the hamstrings and erector spinae through hip extension. It also challenges gluteus medius and core stabilizers due to the ball’s instability; cue: press the heels into the ball and drive hips up without overarching the lower back.
