What “AMBER” Means (in plain English)

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.

 

Pick Your Starting Track (choose one for 7 days)

1) Mobility — if mornings feel stiff or posture rounds forward

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.

2) Stability — if balance feels wobbly or you avoid movement for fear of flare ups

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.

3) Load Tolerance — if stairs/chairs & everyday tasks spark symptoms

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.

Why This Works

  • 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.

Safety & Pain Rules

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need equipment?

A chair, wall space, and (optionally) a broomstick/dowel.

When should I train?

Anytime you can be consistent. Mobility often works best in the morning; stability afternoon; load when you feel freshest.

Can I mix tracks?

Start with one track for 7 days. If you’re keen, add one exercise from a second track after Day 3.

What if I flare up?

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.

Can I use this alongside NHS care/meds?

Yes. Follow your GP’s advice. These are gentle, complementary strategies.

Is this medical advice?

No—this is educational guidance. Stop anything that causes sharp pain or dizziness and seek professional advice if unsure.

What if I miss a day?

Pick up again tomorrow. Consistency over perfection.
