A simple exercise framework can be practiced at home, and from the comfort of your chair, whether with the help of a physiotherapist, family member, or even on your own.
Light exercises can not only help improve symptoms and enhance movement and flexibility, they also renew confidence and increase enjoyment of daily life, apart from making you more independent.
