How it is done

Lie on the back with leg straight forward, loop a Theraband above ankles. Move the one leg away from the body by pulling the Theraband, slide the leg back 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.
