How it is done

Stand next to the wall on a pillow with feet touching each other and hold a ball in both hands. Rotate your trunk towards the wall. Maintain the balance and start catching and throw ball on wall. Repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
