How it is done

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet placed on the floor. Place a resistance band around your thighs and keep your arms crossed over your chest. Lift your hips off the floor while pushing your thighs outward against the band. Lower your hips back to the starting position. Repeat.

Nothing here is a prescription. Your physiotherapist decides which of these are yours, and when.

The plan starts with an assessment.
