  • Anchor a resistance band at about chest height or slightly lower. Hold one end in each hand.
  • Stand facing the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended in front of you holding the band.
  • Set your posture: gently draw your shoulder blades down and back, and engage your core.
  • With straight or slightly bent elbows, pull the band upwards and outwards to form a “Y” shape with your arms.
  • Focus on leading the movement with your shoulders rather than your hands.
  • Pause briefly at the top, squeezing your shoulder blades together and down.
  • Slowly return to the starting position with control.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
