KD Smart Chair, a manufacturer of lightweight folding power wheelchairs, has released an infographic that visualizes best stretching exercises for wheelchair users. The graphic provides 13 easy to do stretching examples for individuals who are wheelchair bound. Sitting too long in a wheelchair may lead to lower back pain and tightening of back muscles and joints. Solution to this is doing some stretching that may help reduce this type of back pain and help relieve any cramps or joint stiffness. These exercises can be performed on a daily or weekly basis depending on your health and if it is safe and suitable to add to your exercise routine. We recommend consulting your doctor before starting doing any of them. The stretching exercises allow you to improve your posture, increase flexibility, improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, increase energy levels and enhance coordination while sitting too long in a wheelchair.
