How it is done

Lie on the stomach, crossed arms under the head. Bend one knee to 90 degree, rotate the hip in such a way that foot moves away from the body, back to centre and move towards the other leg. Lower down the leg and repeat.

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

The plan starts with an assessment.
