7. Donkey Kicks

Many physical therapists recommend donkey kicks for meralgia paresthetica. To perform a donkey kick, start on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Lift one leg, keeping it bent at the knee as you "kick" with control, pointing the toe or bottom of the foot toward the ceiling. Donkey kicks target the core and gluteal muscles and require hip flexion.
