How to do it

Sit with your leg stretched out in front of you and a light resistance band around the front of your foot. Hold the other end of the band in your other hand, or tie it to a heavy table leg on the inner side of your foot. Slowly turn your foot outwards, away from your other foot against the band. Return slowly. Move only your foot, not your knee.

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