- Begin seated on the reformer box or kneeling on the carriage, facing the footbar, as directed by your physiotherapist.
- Hold one strap in each hand with elbows bent and tucked in by your sides, forearms parallel to the floor, and palms facing upward.
- Sit or kneel tall with a neutral spine, ribcage stacked over pelvis, and shoulders gently drawn down.
- Exhale as you extend your elbows, pressing your forearms forward so your palms finish directly in line with your shoulders.
- Keep the movement smooth and controlled, ensuring your shoulders stay relaxed and spine neutral.
- Inhale to return to the starting position, bending the elbows and keeping them close to the sides of your trunk.
- Avoid leaning back or flaring the ribs during the movement.
- Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
