What you can do / Our TOGU experts advise:

Incorporate short movement breaks every day. Even simple arm circles, leg lifts or stretching exercises can help to promote blood circulation, activate the muscles and increase energy. Consistent small movements in everyday life make a big difference to your fitness in a wheelchair.

    Präha: Why targeted training before surgery is so important
    TOGU | 27 April 2026
    Surgery is always a challenge for the body. Whether it is the knee, hip, shoulder or spine – every procedure means stress for the tissue, a phase of immobilization and then the arduous reconstruction. What many do not know: How well the body regenerates after surgery depends decisively on how well it was prepared beforehand. This is exactly where prehabilitation comes in – the preoperative phase in which targeted training sets the course for a better healing process.

    A strong back does not happen by chance. It develops through regular, well-dosed movement – and through exercises that target exactly where we often do too little in everyday life: stability, mobility, and conscious body awareness. Back exercises do not have to be complicated or time-consuming. Just a few minutes a day can provide noticeable relief and offer long-term protection.

    As the days get longer and temperatures rise, we are almost automatically drawn outside. The first hiking trails become accessible again, running shoes are ready, and the bicycle is waiting to finally be taken out of its winter rest. But as great as the motivation in spring may be – the body often needs a moment to find its rhythm again. This is exactly where the real preparation for the outdoor season begins: with stability, strength, and mobility.

    Children naturally move in a very instinctive way. They run, jump, climb, balance – and discover the world in the process. But in the everyday life of many families, reality looks different: long periods of sitting at school, homework, digital media, and a tightly scheduled daily routine often cause natural movement to shrink. Yet movement is not only important for physical development, but also for concentration, self-confidence, and emotional stability.

    TOGU | 2 March 2026
    Getting started with training does not begin with perfection, but with a simple principle: consistency beats intensity. Especially in everyday life, which is often full, hectic, and unpredictable, movement quickly becomes secondary. Yet this is exactly where the key lies: When movement becomes a natural part of your day, not only your body changes – but your overall well-being as well.

    Heavy Legs? – How the TOGU Senso Vein Trainer can help
    TOGU | 2 March 2026
    Heavy legs, feelings of tension, or tired calves in the evening – many people are familiar with this unpleasant problem. Those who sit or stand a lot, or who get little exercise, quickly notice that their legs become heavy and swollen. The cause can sometimes be a weakness in venous function: the blood doesn't flow back optimally, it pools in the legs – and this leads to the typical feeling of heaviness.

    In my daily work with horses and dogs, one aspect is always at the center of my approach: functional movement, body awareness, and sustainable stability. As a physiotherapist and osteopath, I do not work in a purely symptom oriented way, but focus on underlying causes. The goal is to restore physiological balance and support the body’s natural ability for self regulation. It is precisely at this point that the products of TOGU Animal come into use.
