Simple Seated Exercises for Seniors: Boost Mobility and Joint Health
Mexico City, Mexico – A physiotherapist has shared a series of three simple, seated exercises aimed at improving mobility and joint health for older adults. The routine, designed to be accessible and effective, focuses on key areas of the body to promote overall well-being. The first exercise involves seated cervical and dorsal spine flexion and extension. Participants are instructed to place their hands behind their head, open their arms, and then flex their cervical spine, repeating the movement 10 times. This helps in mobilizing the upper back and neck regions. The second exercise targets lower body strength and coordination. Individuals are to sit upright, place their hands at chest height, and then alternately lift each knee to touch their hands. This exercise should also be performed for 10 repetitions per leg. The final exercise combines upper and lower body movement. It involves clapping hands together in front of the body, followed by simultaneously opening the arms and legs to the sides. This movement, repeated 10 times, aims to lubricate multiple joints and enhance coordination. The physiotherapist emphasizes that consistent practice of these exercises can lead to significant improvements in joint function and overall physical comfort for seniors.
