Weighted Step-Ups and Step-Downs

Description

Hold a weight of 5 to 10 kg as advised by your therapist. Place one foot on a step or a stair about two steps high. Step up by pushing on the painful leg, then step down controlling the movement with the same leg. The step can be used in a higher or lower position if necessary, to adjust the difficulty of the exercise.
