Wall Push Up
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start with hands up against a wall. Maintain a straight line from your heels to your shoulders. Perform a push up by slowly lowering your chest towards the wall and then press your body away from the wall back to starting position and repeat. The further your feet are from the wall the more challenging this exercise will be, the closer you bring your feet, the easier this will be.
- FEEL: You should feel your shoulders, chest, and triceps work with this exercise.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your body in a straight line, don't hinge at the hips. Stay evenly balanced through both arms as you lower down and push up
