You’ve got one or two bottlenecks — usually:
Mobility (stiff mornings, rounded posture), or
Stability (wobbly balance, guarding), or
Load tolerance (stairs/chairs feel too effortful)
Tackle the biggest one first for 7 days. Total time: 8–10 minutes/day. No equipment beyond a chair, a wall, and (optionally) a broomstick.
What you’ll do (expert physio set):
Wall angels — 2 × 8 (slow slide from “W” to “Y”)
Half-kneeling hip-flexor stretch — 2 × 30s/side (light tail-tuck)
Thoracic rotation (“open book”) — 8/side
Chin tucks — 2 × 10 (gentle “double-chin”, neck long)
Goal: easier posture, smoother shoulder/neck movement.
What you’ll do:
Deep neck flexor nods (supine) — 2 × 8 (3s holds)
Dead bug – heel taps — 2 × 6/side (ribs down, slow exhale)
Side plank from knees — 2 × 20–30s/side
Single-leg stance with fingertip support — 2 × 20s/side (hover if easy)
Goal: calmer, steadier movement with less bracing.
What you’ll do:
Sit-to-stand (arms crossed) — 3 × 8 @ RPE 6–7/10
Hip hinge with dowel — 2 × 10 (three points of contact)
Low step-ups — 2 × 8/side (use rail if needed)
Goal: more “capacity” so normal life stops feeling like too much.
Small signals, big change: tissues adapt to gentle, repeatable work.
Right order: unlock mobility, wire in stability, then build capacity.
Consistency over intensity: short daily sessions beat sporadic big workouts.
Stay in the 0–3/10 comfort window.
If a move reaches 4–5/10, make it smaller/slower or reduce reps.
6+/10 or symptoms spread further → stop that move today.
If you notice new weakness, spreading numbness, saddle numbness, or bladder/bowel changes, seek urgent care.
Gentle note: my clinic care is no-cracking and focused on calm, precise corrections.

A chair, wall space, and (optionally) a broomstick/dowel.
Anytime you can be consistent. Mobility often works best in the morning; stability afternoon; load when you feel freshest.
Start with one track for 7 days. If you’re keen, add one exercise from a second track after Day 3.
Return to positions of relief + breathing, shorten sessions, and keep within a pain score of 0–3/10. If you’re unsure, book a quick check with me.
Yes. Follow your GP’s advice. These are gentle, complementary strategies.
No—this is educational guidance. Stop anything that causes sharp pain or dizziness and seek professional advice if unsure.
Pick up again tomorrow. Consistency over perfection.
