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.
