You're home.

It's okay. Come on.

Sit you down.

- Yeah?

- Mm.

- Get you a cup of tea?

- Yeah.

I want you to try and point them forward

so they're pointing towards the steps

That's good. I know it's hard work.

Lovely. Well done.

It's a lot to concentrate on.

Forwards again.

What I need to check first

is that we can actually get

this leg of yours up onto the step first.

What I'd like you to do

is you just pop this leg here

up onto the step.

Pointing forwards again.

Do it like we do it at home.

- What?

- Do it like we do it at home.

- Show them.

- Yeah.

Yeah?

PHYSIOTHERAPIST:
Well done.

That's lovely. Hand on the banister, though.

Lovely. Well done.

That's it. Got the leg position. Good.

Well done.

- Brilliant.

- Good. Put your hand forward.
