Begin seated or in a half-kneeling position on the reformer, facing the straps.
Hold the strap with one hand, arm extended forward at shoulder height, palm facing inward.
Engage your core and sit tall or kneel upright, maintaining a neutral spine.
Initiate the movement by pulling the strap back into a row — bend your elbow and draw it towards your waist, keeping the elbow close to your body.
As you row, allow your torso to rotate toward the pulling arm, leading the rotation from the thoracic spine (mid-back), not the hips or shoulders alone.
Keep the opposite hand relaxed by your side or resting lightly on your ribcage for feedback.
Slowly return to the starting position with control, allowing your trunk to de-rotate and arm to extend.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
