- Ensure that the head is stacked above the pelvis in an upright position and the chest is open.
- Take the resistance band prescribed with both hands in a ‘thumbs up’ position.
- The band should be taut.
- Position the elbows by the side and pull the band apart, drawing the shoulder blades together.

- Slowly return to the start position and repeat as per Physiotherapist’s guidelines.
2Shelf Exercise [Top with Step]
- Stand with a theraband tied around your wrists.
- Add tension to the band by moving your wrists away so they are inline with your elbows.
- Pretend that you are holding onto a box and place the box on a top shelf as prescribed by your physiotherapist while simultaneously stepping forward (it does not matter what leg you step with).
- Repeat as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
3Shoulder Extension
- Anchor band in a position above head height.
- Facing the wall, hold the resistance band with the shoulder elevated.
