How it is done

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. Place a pillow between your knees and keep your arms crossed over your chest. Press the pillow by squeezing your knees together. Hold and relax. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
