- 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.
