How it is done

Lie on the back and bend your both knees around 90° and feet touches the ground. Lift the trunk off the floor, lower the buttocks 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.
