Step by Step

  1. This is a good exercise for strength or endurance of the Lats and mid back
  2. Like any exercise you should only do the exercise if it is pain free during, after and the next day. Obviously it is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48 to 72 hours but this should be manageable
  3. Get about 1 metre of exercise band and stand on the centre of the band with both feet together
  4. Take hold of the ends of the exercise band with each hand
  5. Bend the knees and hips and keep your back straight
  6. Try to get your body parallel to the floor
  7. Try to have the exercise band slack taken up with your arms hanging to the floor
  8. Now set your posture by squeezing your shoulder blades down and back and pull the band ends up by drawing your elbows back up to the ceiling so that it is behind you.
  9. Once you reach the top point, then slowly return to the start position and repeat

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
