Day 11: The Spine and Hip Mobility Routine I Give My Patients

Day 11 of doing the same exercises I give to my patients. Today’s routine focused on hip mobility, posture, spinal decompression, and TheraBand strength. We started with warm-ups including neck circles, triceps stretch, trunk rotations, elephant walks, Asian squats with 90-90 hip mobility, and a chest stretch to open the pec muscles. Then we used the TheraBand for over-under shoulder mobility, lat pull-downs, and assisted squats. We also added hanging from a pull-up bar to help decompress the spine and reduce back stiffness. This routine was designed to help with: hip mobility back stiffness posture shoulder mobility lat strength squat control spinal decompression functional strength A lot of people feel tight because their body is not moving through the full range it needs for daily life. The hips get stiff, the chest gets tight, the back feels compressed, and the legs start working harder than they should. That is why this routine combines mobility, decompression, and strengthening. These are the same types of exercises I use with patients who want to move better, stand taller, reduce stiffness, and stay independent longer. If you are over 50 and looking for hip mobility exercises, back pain relief exercises, TheraBand exercises, posture exercises, or simple home therapy exercises, this is a great routine to follow. Attendance Check: What makes you feel older than you actually are: back stiffness, tight hips, or weak legs? Tell me in the comments. On the Skills and Wellness channel, my goal is to help you stay consistent with your therapy at home so you can move better, feel stronger, and stay independent longer. Consistency is the key and never give up. #OccupationalTherapy #PhysicalTherapy #BackPainRelief #HipMobility #HealthyAging ------------------------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH SKILLS AND WELLNESS: Recommended Therapy Items:https://amzn.to/4nzDAn7 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbgzVvvr0hwKFeLBnczqg7w/join Exercises for Seniors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgIVMCnlGsQ&list=PLvSelbjivxk3BnHT2Je8aSBnkwlucnCkH&pp=gAQB Stroke Exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHii94MWaY4&list=PLvSelbjivxk1HbpmmasBZAQHi2IElTGz2&pp=gAQB Parkinson's Disease Exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUHNNhn0MCI&list=PLvSelbjivxk1COV65rAbOORH9W73n2Vru&pp=gAQBiAQB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skillsandwellness/ ================================= About Skills and Wellness Welcome to Skills and Wellness, your personal guide to Occupational Therapy.
