For those survivors who have little to no active movement in their affected side, my other exercise videos may be too much. In this video, I walk you through 5 weight-bearing exercises that can be done seated and that address both arms and legs.

Weight-bearing exercises can be very helpful to improve strength, temporarily reduce high muscle tone and spasticity, improve bone density and provide proprioceptive input to our joints, muscles, and tendons (so we better know where our body is in space).

What You’ll Need:
A bed or couch to sit on
A sturdy surface to hang on to
Someone else to help, if you’re unstable sitting upright
A pillow
Willingness to work out with me!
