How to do it

Stand facing a counter or a stable chair and hold on. Keep your feet hip-width apart and your weight even on both legs. Bend both knees a small way, as if you were about to sit, keeping your knees over your toes. Then stand tall again slowly. Do not go further than a quarter of the way down.

If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
