Drawing perfect circles for wellbeing! Stress and anxiety can lead to tense shoulders, which affects the functioning of the neck and negatively impacts breathing. The PS Centre has therefore designed this exercise to enhance body awareness and encourage shoulder relaxation. First, place your right index finger on your left shoulder. Press your finger into your shoulder so you clearly feel it. Release the shoulder and imagine that the pressure from your finger is a marker. Slowly draw three perfect circles with the marker in each direction. Release your shoulders and notice how you feel. Does one shoulder feel different than the other? Do the exercise on your right shoulder and notice how it feels at the end of the circling exercise.

National Exercise Day is here to act as a reminder to get out there and create a new habit of physical activity for the sake of a healthy life! Moving the body is a vital part of not only physical health but also emotional and mental health as well. Exercise works together with the body to promote a longer, happier life for anyone who does it regularly. But those who don’t exercise regularly shouldn’t let that overwhelm them! Even getting outside for a ten-minute brisk walk a couple of times a week can help combat the health problems that can come from a completely sedentary lifestyle, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. No matter the age or physical ability, every human can benefit from even a little bit of exercise.

The Power of Movement: Why Exercise Matters for Seniors Did you know staying active is just as important for seniors as it is for younger adults? Exercise isn't just about physical fitness! It plays a crucial role in maintaining mental well-being, reducing chronic disease risk, and enhancing overall quality of life. Here's a quick look at the benefits: - Improved cardiovascular health: Exercise strengthens the heart and improves circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. - Stronger bones and muscles: Weight-bearing exercises help build bone density, while resistance training builds and maintains muscle mass, both important for preventing falls. - Enhanced cognitive function: Regular physical activity has been shown to improve memory, problem-solving skills, and overall cognitive function. - Boosted mood: Exercise is a natural mood enhancer, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. - Better sleep: Physical activity can improve sleep quality, leading to better rest and increased energy levels.

It's Day 6 of the Stroke Month Wellness Challenge. Today we're focusing on the benefits of a 10-Minute Home Workout. Sometimes, it can be difficult to fit exercise into your day. Even 10 minutes of physical activity can improve your brain health, strengthen your bones, lower your blood pressure, lift your mood and improve your sleep. As always, think about your safety and plan ahead before you begin. Take a walk outside or even around your house if you cannot get outside. Bring a friend! Looking for somewhere to start?

💪 Regular exercise is vital for our seniors! There are numerous health benefits like improved strength, balance, & mental wellbeing. 💚 Here are some key points to consider when creating exercise routines for the elderly: 1️⃣ Start with Low-Impact Activities: Walking, swimming, or light yoga are great starters. They reduce strain on joints while improving cardiovascular health. 2️⃣ Focus on Balance & Flexibility: Exercises that enhance balance can help prevent falls. 3️⃣ Strength Training: Use light weights or resistance bands to maintain muscle mass. 4️⃣ Tailor to Individual Needs: Every senior has unique health considerations and abilities. 5️⃣ Encourage Consistency: Regular, moderate exercise is more beneficial than sporadic, intense workouts. Remember, it's always advisable to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new exercise regimen, especially for seniors with existing health conditions. #SequoiaIntegrativeMedicalServices #SequoiaNurses #elderlycare #SeniorCareNearMe #elderlyservicesnearme #healthyheart
