DOCTOR: Would you slip off your top things, please. Now I just want to see you standing, Hands by your side. You're sticking that hip out a little bit, aren't you?
PATIENT: Yes, well, I can't straighten up easily.
DOCTOR: Could you bend down as far as you can with your knees straight and stop when you've had enough.
PATIENT: Oh, that's the limit.
DOCTOR: Not very far, is it? Stand up again. Now I would like you to lean backwards. That's not much either. Now stand up straight again. Now first of all, I would like you to slide your right hand down the right side of your thigh. See how far you can go. That's fine, Now do the same thing on the opposite side, Fine. Now just come back to standing straight. Now keep your feet together just as they are. Keep your knees firm, Now try and turn both shoulders round to the right. Look right round.
