How it is done

Stand and loop the theraband above ankles, raise yours arms forward by 90° and bent knees 90° as in squat. With maintaining the squat, start waking sideward and strech the theraband. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
