  • Begin in high kneeling on the carriage, facing the foot bar.
  • Hold one strap in each hand with your arms extended overhead, elbows bent, and palms facing forward (or slightly inward).
  • Position your upper arms close to your ears, elbows pointing forward, and ensure the straps run behind your back.
  • Engage your core and glutes to maintain a tall kneeling posture with a neutral spine.
  • Exhale as you extend both elbows, pressing your hands upward toward the ceiling in a straight line.
  • Keep your upper arms stable and avoid letting the elbows drift out or forward — the movement should come only from the elbows.
  • Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows to return to the start position, controlling the spring tension.
  • Maintain steady breathing and postural alignment throughout.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
