disability and exercise

Hello @deb74 How are you.  I use Tai Chi it is a form of exercise practiced in Chinese culture.  It is slow movements of arms and legs.  Using motions that cause no pain.

I do every morning a Tai Chi work out simple arm stretching and legs.  Moving waist circular movements.  I was recommended to do this because I have muscle weakness in legs and arms.  Simple to do.

I would look at classes community centres or well being service in your area  .Online might be something that demonstrates. 

Also consider other options maybe yoga as well.

Please can I say before doing any exercise or physical  consult your Doctor.  Also have a look at diet as well.  I would consult a nutritionist.  I could give you advice connected to your condition but I do not know if I could be breaking any SCOPE rules.

Regarding your diet. 

Take care

Hi deb74, having had spinal decompression surgery I was sent for back classes exercises. After 6 weeks of excersises and no improvement in my mobility I was sent for 3 MRI scans and 3 mths later was diagnosed with MS, so I still do my back excersises based on palates it helps keeping me mobile but I can't do the full workout but do my best it all helps so do your best but not if it hurts or causes pain.
