Lower Limb Stretches
Trunk Strengthening Exercises
Below are some trunk strengthening exs using an exercise ball (around £8.99 for clients to buy). The ball can be used to sit at the PC for an hour to increase muscle activity in the core to help protect your spine and keep a good posture while sitting. This protects the lumbar curve in the lower back.
You can also use an exercise ball to sit on at your desk in order to activate your core and protect your spine and improve your postural strength. The client can also play the video of each exercise to remind them of the movements. It is difficult exercising on your own so this and having the colourful pictures, all helps to motivate the patient and helps them achieve a stronger and/or flexible body. strengthening exs take around 6 weeks to lay down more muscle fibres, the exercise “stresses” the muscles in a safe way, in order to become stronger. You must next cause pain by doing too many reps, always stop when you feel tired. Your body will thank you in the years to come if you can do a weekly pilates, yoga or body tone class all your life!
