Instructions

  • Begin by lying face down (prone) on a comfortable surface with your arms at your sides.
  • Place one hand behind your back, around the lower spine area. Your palm should be facing upwards.
  • Keep your neck in a neutral position, chin tucked slightly, and your head resting gently on the surface.
  • Engage your shoulder blades by gently drawing them down and together.
  • Without twisting your torso or neck, lift your hand off your lower back, raising your arm as high as you comfortably can.
  • Hold the lift for a moment, ensuring that your shoulder remains down, not hiked up towards your ear.
  • Slowly lower your hand back to the starting position.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
