Stand facing the cable machine with the pulley set at a high position. Attach a rope handle or straight bar as directed by your physiotherapist.
Grasp the handle with both hands, palms facing down (overhand grip) if using a bar, or neutral grip if using a rope.
Step back slightly so the cable has tension, and position your feet hip-width apart with a slight bend in your knees.
Engage your core, draw your shoulder blades gently down and back, and keep your elbows tucked close to your sides.
Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, straighten your elbows fully by pressing the handle down towards your thighs, feeling the contraction in your triceps.
Keep your upper arms still throughout the movement—only your forearms should move.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement with your elbows extended, without locking them out forcefully.
Slowly return to the starting position in a controlled manner, allowing your elbows to bend and the handle to rise back to about chest level.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
