How it is done

Stand with one foot directly in front of another touching the heel to toes . Lift one hand to 90 degrees in front and try to reach out in front and sideways directions. Maintain balance and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
