  • Begin kneeling on the carriage or sitting tall on the reformer box, facing the footbar, as directed by your physiotherapist.
  • Hold one strap in each hand with arms straight and close to your sides, palms facing in (neutral grip).
  • Sit or kneel tall with a neutral spine, ribs stacked over pelvis, and core gently engaged.
  • Exhale as you extend both arms forward in a straight line, raising them to just below shoulder height — avoid lifting past shoulder level.
  • Keep the movement smooth and controlled, maintaining straight elbows and neutral wrists throughout.
  • Inhale to return to the starting position, drawing the arms back down beside the trunk in a slow, controlled motion.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid leaning forward or back during the movement.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
