Reverse Wall Push Ups

The Reverse Wall Push Ups Exercise aims to strengthen the muscles of your upper back and shoulders.

Start by standing with your back about 1 foot away from a wall.

Lean against the wall, have your elbows bent and your arms out from your side, raised up to just below your shoulder height, and in contact with the wall.

From this position aim to push yourself off the wall by moving your arms backwards. The movement should look similar to how a press up is performed, but you should feel the movement in your upper back and shoulders. Once you have reached the end of the movement return to the start position in a slow and controlled manner.

Aim to complete the reps and sets as suggested in your rehab programme.

If you find this exercise helpful, there are a number of other upper back and shoulder strength exercises on our channel.
