How it is done

Stand and lift one leg off the floor, maintain the balance on one leg and pass the ball from one hand to another front and back. Lower the foot 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.
