The balloon variation intensifies breathing by influencing both exhalation and inhalation. The standard variation uses heel pressure, a ball squeeze, a slight butt lift, and controlled breathing. For bilateral extension presentations, slight femoral internal rotation can more strongly bias the adductors. The 90-90 alternating crossover is especially useful for bilaterally extended patients because it alternates flexion, extension, and rotation side to side.
