How it is done

Stand with arms by the side. Slide one hand from behind from hip to lower back to mid back and towards the neck. Lower the arm back to starting position. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
