Sit on the chair, rest the forearm on arm rest such that hand is off the arm rest and palm facing towards the floor with making a fist. Move the hand towards the body, back the hand 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.
