How it is done

Stand facing the wall front with holding a ball. Lift one leg off the floor and stand on one leg. Maintain the balance on one leg, catch and throw the ball on wall. Lower down the leg on floor to starting position and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
