Episode notes
Adapt For Mobility With Low-Impact Options
- Start with safe, low-impact movements and progress deliberately to raise fitness without increasing pain.
- Use pools, bikes, chairs, blocks, or walls to unload joints and maintain range of motion.
Use Props And Guided Progressions
- Accommodate limitations with props and slower transitions while still moving through multiple planes.
- Hire a trained clinician or use guided programs like Lit to get safer progress and confidence.
Limitations Are Not A Life Sentence
- Accommodating limitations shouldn't become a permanent story of inability; mobility can improve with mindful work.
- Guided, progressive practice rewires movement patterns and restores potential.
