  • Set the cable machine or anchor your resistance band at chest height.
  • Begin in a squat position, holding the handle with your working hand extended straight in front of you at shoulder height, palm facing down—similar to holding a bike handle with one hand.
  • From this position, initiate the movement by bending your elbow and pulling the handle towards your body.
  • As you pull, retract your shoulder blade and allow your upper back to rotate slightly.
  • At the same time, push through your feet to rise from the squat to a standing position.
  • Keep the motion fluid and coordinated, allowing it to feel natural.
  • Reverse the movement with control, extending your arm forward and lowering back into the squat to return to the starting position.
  • Repeat as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
