Wheelchair user reluctantly

Hi,

I am a reluctant wheelchair user due to this curse of a condition but I was just wondering how do people maintain a healthy weight especially around the tummy area? I am trying my best I could probably try harder but I find it so hard to get motivated I too really want to be able to get out of this chair, but first I need to lose the extra weight I've gained from being in this chair. Thank you, it's not vanity it's for health both mental and general. 😊

  1. Hi I am so glad you reached out. I am attaching an article by a physical therapist that discusses various exercises you can do in a wheelchair: https://multiplesclerosis.net/guest-expert/physical-therapy-exercise. And here is an article with some stretching exercises: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/spasticity-stretches-chair. I hope this is helpful. Jill (Team Member)
