Seated Row
​
Grasp the handle with a neutral grip (palms facing in). Keeping your feet on the ground and your back straight, pull the weight up slightly off the stack. You should be sitting straight upright with your shoulders back. This is the starting position. Keeping your body in position, pull the handle into your stomach. Pull your shoulder blades back, squeeze, pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

Pull up w/ Band Assistance
​
If the patient cannot perform a pull up without assistance, he or she can tie a band around the center of the bar and place it underneath their bottom for assistance. From there, grasp the bar with an overhand grip with your hands just wider than shoulder-width apart. Let your body hang straight down with your arms fully extended. Pull up and squeeze your lats until your chin is over the bar, before lowering slowly to the start position without swinging.​
