How it is done

Stand, bend the elbows at 90 degrees and clasp the hands such that palm touches each other. Press the palm against each other and hold. Un-press and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
