How it is done

Stand with feet hip-width apart. Turn your head to one side and maintain that position. Walk in a straight line placing one foot directly in front of the other so that the heel touches the toes. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
