Mobility is independence. We’ll focus on three pillars: ankle/hip motion, leg strength, and balance practice. Add gentle spine care so walking, standing, and social plans feel doable—not daunting.
Daily Five (6–8 Minutes)
- Ankle pumps x 20; calf raises x 10.
- Sit-to-Stand x 8–10 (hands on chair if needed).
- Standing March x 20 steps.
- Heel-to-Toe walk across the room (near counter for safety).
Spine Comfort
- Thoracic extension over towel roll x 8.
- Gentle trunk rotations seated x 6/side.
From Dr. Edward Komberg: “Practice balance where you can catch yourself—kitchen counter, hallway, or sturdy chair. Confidence grows with safe reps.”
