Day 6: The Strength and Balance Routine I Give My Patients

Day 6 of doing the same exercises I give to my patients. Today’s focus was full-body strength, balance, and mobility. This routine was designed to wake up the muscles that help you stay steady, move with more control, and stay independent as you age. We started with warm-up movements like shoulder stretches, waistline circles, knee circles, wrist extension stretches, and ankle circles to get the joints moving safely. Then we moved into exercises that work the body in a practical way: resistance band rows biceps curls supported lunges single leg Romanian deadlifts hamstring mobility glute stretches diagonal back kicks squats This was not just about exercise for the sake of exercise. It was about training the muscles that help with real life: standing up easier walking better protecting your balance improving posture keeping your hips and legs strong moving with more confidence These are the same kinds of exercises I use with my patients to build strength that actually carries over into daily life. If you’re over 50 and want to stay active, strong, and independent, this is a great routine to include in your week. Attendance Check: What daily activity do you want to keep doing on your own for as long as possible? I’d love to hear your answer 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 #StrengthAndBalance #HealthyAging #SeniorFitness ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
