Sit to stand from chair – combined

Physiotherapy

Sit to stand from chair

Sitting on a chair, relax and breath (Fig A), bend forward to get your shoulders over your feet and lift your bottom off the chair (Fig B).

Keep your back relaxed and straighten your legs to stand upright (Fig C).

Reverse the process by bending your hips and knees and let your head and shoulders come forward until you lower yourself to the chair.

One leg sit to stand from chair with cushion

Lift one leg clear of the floor (Fig A).

Bend forward with your weight on your standing leg and then straighten your knee to stand upright (Fig B).

• Keep your other leg off the floor until you reverse the movement and return gently to the chair.
• As a progression, fold your arms throughout the movement.
