The early plan is designed to provide you with some exercises to help increase movement and begin the process of getting the thigh muscles to re-engage. Pain should not exceed 3/10 on your self-perceived pain scale whilst completing this exercise programme.
Here our focus becomes regaining strength in the hips and legs. It is expected that you would be carrying on some of the movement-based exercises from the early programme and add in these exercises.
