Lonwabo joins us once again for this follow up from his last month’s Feeling Fit
discussion. This time, he goes in-depth on his suggestions/exercises and those learned from folks living with FSHD.
The session will be broken up into 2 parts: a SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS section which will show:
- useful tips to improve sleeping posture
- alleviate back and neck pain,
- and a “how to” approach exercise as a part-time (ambulatory) wheelchair user living with FSHD.
The second section within the hour will tackle: APPROPRIATE EXERCISES for members:
- with an early diagnosis (relatively mobile and agile)
- as well as those with advanced symptoms and limited mobility,
- and an interesting look into rebounding as a form of low-impact exercise.
For people living with FSHD who are interested in exercise and fitness, we meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 12:00 pm (noon) U.S. Eastern Time. Come dressed for exercise and have on hand any safety and assistive devices you need. Not every exercise is appropriate or safe for every individual, so please use your best judgement and consult your health care provider.
Please come prepared with a stable chair or stool (back of chair is optional).
