All bodies are different and all of us have varying ranges of ability and mobility throughout the course of our lifetimes. Despite the changes in our bodies that occur as we age, some gradually and over time, and others much more abruptly, one thing remains constant: the need for exercise.
You may be experiencing a number of challenges continuing an exercise routine as you live with limited mobility. Many in a similar position are finding relief through the participation in chair exercises for seniors with limited mobility. Physical therapy exercises for seniors should never be a one-size-fits-all model. For those with limited mobility the need for stability and safety should always be taken in account when developing exercises for strength and mobility.
Physical therapy exercises for seniors that incorporate the use of a chair for seated positions as well as for support in standing positions are excellent for anyone, especially seniors, who do not have full mobility. Chair exercises for seniors with limited mobility give you all the regular benefits of a good exercise regimen. Many people use chair exercises during the course of recovery from an injury, as well as in the event of a disability or illness. Chair exercises are great for people of all shapes, sizes and ages! Many whose mobility is impacted by obesity will also benefit greatly from chair exercises.
Chair exercises for seniors with limited mobility are a way to make exercise accessible again. Exercise is so essential to our overall health and wellbeing. As much as exercise is good for our muscles and joints, it is good for our minds. Exercise can be used to improve moods, manage anxiety, cope with depression, relieve stress, retrain perspective and, of course, to improve our sense of self-esteem.
Many seniors are living with disability, obesity, breathing trouble, poor circulation, diabetes, arthritis and depression or anxiety. All of these conditions impact our sense of what is possible in terms of following a regular exercise routine. Many may feel hopeless and discouraged due to the loss of mobility or to the weakening of the body through the aging process. That is why chair exercises are so great. They are designed for seniors and other people who experience limited mobility. Chair exercises can help you exercise in a safe and effective way! And hopefully you will have some fun while you’re at it.
Chair exercises for seniors with limited mobility can help with balance, strength, flexibility, circulation, heart health and more! Here are some of the best physical therapy exercises for seniors that incorporate chair work:
