Physical Therapy in Pittsburgh for Lower Back

Stand facing a pulley system or resistance band with your arms straight and one handle in each hand.

Activate your inner unit and lower abdominals. 

Draw your arms out to the side and behind your body with your elbows slightly bent, palms forward, shoulder blades squeezing together.

Keep the shoulders in neutral alignment, and don’t let them pop forward or hike towards the ears. 

Breathe throughout the exercise. Hold and repeat as advised by your Physical Therapist.
