Mobility Month
Mobility Month: Are you as Mobile as you Think?
A survey by ACA found that one in ten claim their pain hindered their ability to play with kids, impacts on intimate relationships and 1 in 20realised their persistent pain caused friction with their partner.
This month we are be asking our patients to get more mobile. Its important you stay on top of your mobility and monitor any changes in your strength, balance and flexibility. Try out these 4 exercises.
Neck rotation: Sitting down, keep shoulders still against a chair turn your head all the way to left and then repeat on right. How far did you get? Was it comfortable?
Trunk Side Bend: Stand with feet apart see how far you can run your hand down each side of your body. Was it even?
Sit to Stand: Testing the ease at which you can rise from your chair with crossed arms across your chest. Did you find this easy?
Single Leg Stand: Testing how well you balance on each leg by lifting a foot of the ground. Do not allow your legs to touch and see how long you can stand without moving.
We challenge you to take the test and let us know how you went. If you find you are struggling with any of the exercises don’t worry we are here to help you.
