After anchoring the tubing at one end, loop the handle of the tubing around the left shoulder and step over the band forming a loop around the left shoulder. Place the left hand and forearm in the small of your back. This will help the client keep the left shoulder back. Facing the point of attachment, grasp the rubber sleeve (or handle if using a cable) in your right hand. You can alternately place the left hand on the hip as long as the client is able to keep the shoulder back. Step back from the anchor to create tension on the band. Stand with the feet together. With the knees soft, place your weight on the left leg. Flex from the hips, allowing your right hip to extend while keeping the spine neutral and the hips facing forward. The hips and spine will tend to rotate until the client is able to effectively stabilize the torso. Focus on keeping the right toe pointed down to help prevent hip rotation. Hinge forward only as far as the client is able to maintain a neutral spine, keeping the shoulders and hips parallel to the floor.
