    Therapy Band

Sit comfortably in an upright position. Using your right hand, grasp the handle of a therapy band as if you were holding a cup of coffee. The band is firmly attached to a pole, bedpost, or door handle and positioned behind your right shoulder and directly to the side. Your right arm and elbow should be parallel to the floor and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Maintaining a slight curve in your elbow, bring your hand and arm in a curving motion across your body to the left. The therapy band provides resistance. You'll feel muscles contracting in your right chest and shoulder. Relax and return to the starting position.
