How it is done

Sit on table with hip - knees bend to 90°- 90 and feet touches on floor. Place each hand on the outer aspect of knees. Move the knees outward against the resistance of hands without moving the feets, release the resistance and back to staring position and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
