As luck would have it, at the time my mother's vision took its most dramatic turn for the worst, she was receiving daily physiotherapy for another condition. This consisted of gentle stretching and range of motion exercises at home, combined with bi-weekly intensive physiotherapy at a clinic. The bi-weekly sessions were costly, inconvenient, and very upsetting. It was hard not to think of them as set backs, something from which she had to recover. On the other hand, the gentler daily sessions soothed, encouraged and affirmed her physical progress, giving her added confidence.
Open body is a gentle daily session.
