Exercise: Wall Push-Up


Purpose: To retrain proper push-up form in a gravity-minimized position


Who It's For: People who do not feel ready to perform push-ups from the ground


Why We Love It: It trains the proper movement patterns of the shoulders blade and shoulders during a push-up


Procedure:


  1. Stand facing a wall with your hands slight wider than shoulder width apart and slightly below

  2. Maintaining a plank position, lower yourself down to the wall keeping your elbows in by your sides and avoiding bringing your shoulders up by your ears

  3. Repeat 6-8 times


*Disclaimer: Not all exercises are suitable for everyone, and participation in novel activities may increase the risk of adverse effects such as pain, soreness, or injury. Please consult with your Physician or a local Physical Therapist prior to attempting any exercise you feel uncomfortable performing. If adverse reactions occur, discontinue performance of the exercise and consult your physician or trusted clinician for evaluation.
