Step Up

This exercise speaks for itself, we would all benefit from the ability to go up and down stairs.

Physio

Standing sideways on to the bottom step of your stairs or an exercise step. Place one foot on the step and push through that leg to step up. Pause at the top to challenge your balance and then with control, lower yourself to the ground again. 

Regression

If you aren’t confident of your balance, you can use a surface to hold on to in order to complete the movement Try not to use the surface to pull up or push through as this will reduce the workload through the leg which is the main aim of this exercise. To make it harder, just tap your heel on the ground, instead of fully weight bearing, before pushing back up with the standing leg.
