9 weeks post op exercises

Below is Nick's 9 week post op exercises. Some are carried over from earlier weeks, some are new, especially the pelvic tilt exercises. On a school day he does one set first thing in the morning, some of the exercises at school (as and when possible) and another set in the evening. On non-school days he does them about every 2 hours.
