Verbal Cues

• “Sit with your mid-back against the top of the chair”
• “Open your chest and lean back over the chair”
• “Look slightly upwards”

What to Watch For

• Movement is in the mid-back, not the lower back arching
• Range is small to start

Safety

Use a sturdy chair with a firm back, positioned so it cannot tip backwards or slide.
