How it is done

Stand facing a chair with feet hip-width apart. Place one foot directly in front of the other so that the heel touches the toes. Lightly hold the chair for support. Turn your head side to side while maintaining balance. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
