2Sit to Stand
- Sitting, shuffle your bottom forward towards the front of the chair.
- Please use your hands on the chair if needed – or attempt with no hands if able.
- Lean your trunk forward and place your weight firmly on the floor.
- Press through your feet and press the knees gently wide.
- Press through your feet (and hands if needed) and stand up.
- To reverse the process, ensure you can feel the chair at the back of your knees.
- Place your hands back to feel for the chair.
- Let your sit bones swing back bending your knees and leaning your trunk forward.
- Lower yourself slowly and safely to the chair.
- Repeat as prescribed.
