Propulsion With Partner

Description

Stand face to face with your physical therapist or a partner and place your hands on their shoulders. Lean your upper body forward and push forward against their resistance: they should slow you down but let you move forward. Focus on pushing with the forefoot, as if you wanted to propel yourself forward as hard as possible with each step. Repeat the exercise as directed by your therapist.
