Lie on your back on the reformer carriage with your head resting on the headrest, knees bent, and feet either in tabletop or resting on the footbar as directed.
Hold one strap in each hand with your arms extended straight up towards the ceiling, palms facing down.
Gently engage your core and draw the shoulder blades down and back to stabilise.
Inhale to prepare.
As you exhale, simultaneously pull your straight arms down toward your hips and lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the carriage into a crunch.
Keep your chin gently nodded and your gaze towards your thighs.
Hold briefly at the top, maintaining arm extension and abdominal engagement.
Inhale to slowly return your arms to the start position while lowering your upper body with control.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
