Functional training for everyday life

Being fit in a wheelchair also means gaining more independence in everyday life. Functional training that focuses on everyday movements can help to improve the ability to perform daily activities. This includes exercises to stabilise the trunk, which support posture, as well as arm and shoulder exercises that promote mobility.

Invest in your health and experience the positive changes that an active wheelchair lifestyle can bring.

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.
