How it is done

Lie down on your back with legs straight, loop a theraband under the foot and hold either ends of the theraband. Lift the leg straight off the floor. Pull the theraband towards yourself and feel the stretch under the thigh. Hold and bring back the leg to the starting position.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
