- Grip the bar with your palms facing away from you, roughly shoulder-width apart.
- Move your feet off any step or bench so you are freely hanging on to the bar.
- Keep your arms straight and relaxed, but gently draw your shoulder blades down and back to stop your shoulders shrugging towards your ears.
- Gently brace your core to avoid swinging.
- Keep breathing evenly throughout the hold.
- Hold and maintain as prescribed by your physiotherapist
