🔹 Important Technique Tips for This Exercise

To perform this movement correctly and safely, please follow these key recommendations:

✅ Pressure should go into the front of your palms and fingers — not the base of the hand (heel).
This is crucial for proper shoulder engagement and avoiding pain or injury.

✅ Increase your distance from the wall slightly.
It should feel like you're gently leaning into the wall. This will help you naturally shift the pressure forward.

✅ Keep your knees slightly bent.
This adds stability and makes it easier to hold the position.

✅ Shoulders must stay slightly forward.
🔸 Do not move them back during the exercise.
🔸 A forward shoulder position is essential for balance and control.

🔄 If it feels too hard:

🔹 Just take a few steps or reps to begin with.
🔹 Then shift focus to holding the position instead of walking.

➡️ While holding, maintain:
• Strong pressure in the fingertips and front of the palm
• Shoulders slightly forward
• Stable, controlled alignment

🚫 Avoid walking too close to the wall.
If you're too close, pressure may shift to the heel of the palm, which:
• Disengages the shoulder muscles
• Can cause discomfort or shoulder pain

➡️ Always walk or hold only when you feel clear pressure in the front of the hand and fingers.
