The shoulder extension pull down with a cable targets the lats, posterior shoulder, and triceps while promoting controlled movement through the shoulder joint. It’s ideal for improving posture, building pulling strength, and supporting overhead or reaching activities. This exercise is often used in both rehab and general strengthening programs.
- Secure the resistance band to a high position or use a cable machine.
- Extend your arms so your hands are above shoulder height.
- Keeping your elbows straight, pull the band down past your hips and slowly return.
- Continue as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
