How it is done

Stand upright and hold a ball in both hands. Lift one leg and balance on the other. Pass the ball from front to back around the body. Return to start and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
