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.
