Incline Tall Plank Body Saw

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

HOW: Set up an elevated surface in front of you. Reach your hands out onto the surface straightening your body creating the tall plank position. While keeping your elbows straight, push into the surface rounding your chest and shoulders slightly forward. Then, use your shoulders to drive your whole body slightly forwards and backwards in a saw-like motion.

FEEL: You should feel your shoulder and core muscles working.

COMPENSATION: Don’t bend your knees or elbows, keep those straight and keep your hips level and strong
