GOfit Physical Therapy’s Post

#WellnessWednesday At Whole Life Senior Care, we’re all about supporting seniors in feeling strong, confident, and energized! Incorporating both *range of motion* and *explosive movements* can make a big difference in maintaining mobility, balance, and muscle health. Range of motion exercises—like arm circles or leg extensions—keep joints moving freely and improve flexibility, which can reduce pain and the risk of injury. Meanwhile, gentle, controlled “explosive” movements, such as slightly faster leg raises or mini-squats, can help seniors build muscle power safely. This combination supports essential everyday movements, like standing up, reaching high, or walking with ease. 💪 The key? Always practice these exercises at a comfortable pace and in a safe environment, whether at home, outdoors, or in a supportive class. A little movement each day brings lifelong rewards! #WholeLifeSeniorCare #WellnessWednesday #HealthyAging #StayActive #SeniorsFitness

Thank you SO much to Venture Way Collaborative and Andrea L. Bordenca for the beautiful space to MELT last weekend in Hadley MA. What a nourishing way to spend a rainy Saturday evening!

My next Intro Workshop is at Dragonfly Wellness Center in Devens MA on Saturday April 6th. bit.ly/dragonflymeltintro Or, save the date for my next MELT Release and Rebalance class on Saturday April 20th at Embodied Chiropractic & Family Wellness in Hadley MA. https://lnkd.in/e8WMCwgp Or, sign up for a 1-1 in person or virtual MELT session with me to learn the foundational treatments and set up a self care plan for your body. Or, book me to come to your workplace and share MELT with your staff so they can have an experience of this supportive self care practice 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙀𝙇𝙏 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙? The MELT Method is science backed self care--a simple gentle self-treatment technique that boosts your body’s ability to heal by calming your nervous system and rehydrating your connective tissue. It uses large soft foam rollers and small rubber balls to return the body to a more ideal state and release dehydrated connective tissue, otherwise known as "stuck stress,” which causes pain, nervous system dysregulation and other health issues. MELTing is a supportive addition to any health regime, whether you are recovering from an injury, supporting your active lifestyle, looking for ways to help your body destress, or wanting to age with more ease and less pain. DM me with questions! XO Sara 💙🌀 #meltmethod #nervousystemnourishment #releasestress #bodysupport #ease #thrive

One of the biggest risk as we age is our loss of balance and mobility- a high risk of falling. Here are some easy to do exercises to enhance your balance and mobility at any age: 💪🏼🙌🏼 1. Single-Leg Stand: - Stand on one leg for 30 seconds to a minute. - Hold onto a chair or wall for support if needed. - Switch legs and repeat. 2. Heel-to-Toe Walk: - Walk in a straight line, placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toes of the other foot. - Take 20 steps forward, then turn around and return. 3. Seated March: - Sit in a chair with your back straight. - Lift one knee towards your chest and lower it back down. - Alternate legs, lifting each knee 10-15 times. 4. Toe Lifts: - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and rise up onto your toes. - Hold for a few seconds, then slowly lower your heels back down. - Repeat 10-15 times. 5. Side Leg Raises: - Stand behind a chair and hold onto it for support. - Lift one leg out to the side, keeping it straight. - Lower it back down and repeat 10-15 times, then switch legs. . #balance #healthyaging #lifestyle #longevity #exerciseismedicine #purposefulmovement #foryourhealth #livehealthy #befit #starttoday #rjhfitperspectivellc #certified #personaltrainer #nutritioncoach #runwalkcoach #nutritionstrengthmovement #doallthree #everyweek #htx (No content on this site, regardless of date, should ever be used as a substitute for direct medical advice from your doctor or other qualified clinician.
