Day 7: Can Resistance Bands Get You Stronger and Mobile?

Day 7 of doing the same exercises I give to my patients. Today’s focus was TheraBand strength training mixed with mobility work to help the body move better, feel stronger, and stay more balanced. We started with warm-ups like neck rotation, shoulder circles, pelvic tilts, knee circles, and ankle circles to loosen up the joints and reduce stiffness before exercising. Then we used the TheraBand for: leg extensions hip abduction overhead squats shoulder butterflies side-stepping In between those, we also worked on mobility with trunk extension, forward bending, and threading the needle to keep the spine, shoulders, and hips moving well. This routine was designed to help with: posture lower body strength shoulder mobility hip stability walking control reducing stiffness and back discomfort These are the same types of exercises I use with patients who want to move better, stay independent, and keep their body strong without needing fancy equipment. If you are over 50 and want a simple way to improve strength, balance, and mobility at home, this is a great routine to follow. Attendance Check: What daily activity feels harder now than it used to — and you want to get back? 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 #TheraBandExercises #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.
