How it is done

Stand with arms by side. Bend forward and try to touch both hands to the toes. Feel for the stretch in back thighs and leg, back 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.
