Chest Press [Theraband]

Instructions

• Anchor the resistance band securely behind you at chest height (e.g., around a door handle or sturdy pole).
• Stand with one foot forward in a split stance to maintain balance, holding one end of the band in each hand.
• Begin with your elbows bent at 90 degrees and hands level with your chest, palms facing downward or slightly inward.
• Brace your core and keep your chest tall with shoulders relaxed.
• Press both arms forward in a controlled motion until your elbows are fully extended (but not locked out).
• Pause briefly at the end of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
• Keep your wrists neutral and avoid shrugging your shoulders during the movement.
• Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
