10 min stretch break!
Jul 18, 2023Hi there,
Have you been SITTING too much? I know I've been sitting way more than I should lately. Computer work, TV, fatigue - it gets the best of us and often translates into reducing mobility, muscle tightness, and poor posture. So, here is your STRETCH BREAK for the day!
Watch this 10 minute video that will guide you towards stretches you can do right NOW, sitting or standing. It'll be sure to get your muscles moving & stretched out. And it might even improve your mood! Even small amounts of movement increases blood flow to your muscles and your brain. More blood flow contributes to a clearer mind and a more cheerful mood!
Feel free to use this stretching video as often as you need to get a good stretch!
Best,
Dr. Gretchen, PT
P.S.
1. Connect with me on YouTube - Subscribe to my Dr. Gretchen YouTube page where you will be able to find MS specific exercises, research updates, guest speakers, and MORE!
2. Join The MSing Link Community - The MSing Link is my online MS wellness program where you'll find video demonstrations and explanations of MS-specific exercises for strengthening, walking, balance, and flexibility. There are also videos for activity-specific movements such as getting into/out of bed or a car, standing up from the ground, sitting down with more control, stair climbing, etc. Since this program focuses on the whole person and not just exercise, we have monthly live guest speakers (ie: neurologists, podiatrists, nutritionists, etc.) and research updates.
3. Work with me privately - I offer wellness consults via Zoom. This is an opportunity for you to share your story with MS and your goals. I'm able to educate you on MS-specific exercises for walking, general mobility, transfers, and day-to-day activities (ie: getting into/out of a car, stair climbing, etc.). You can schedule a one-time call or you can schedule recurring calls - your choice. Oftentimes, people will schedule one of these calls prior to joining The MSing Link and/or one call every couple of months. Schedule here
