How it is done

Stand bending the elbow with thumb facing towards the ceiling. Place another hand on the forearm just below the wrist. Straighten the elbow against the resistance of another hand. Release the resistance and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
