How it is done

Stand and elevate the arms forward to 90 degree with clasp the hands. Rotate the trunk and arms to one side, rotate back to straight position and repeat alternate side.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
