✳️ Tips for a Successful Post-Surgical or Injury Recovery Routine

A strategic and dedicated approach to exercise after surgery or injury can determine how smoothly seniors reclaim their independence.

⏱️ Stay Consistent: Short, frequent bursts of exercise and activity can be more effective than sporadic longer workouts.

🌀Set Realistic Goals: Breaking tasks into smaller components can help achieve small milestones and maintain motivation.

☀️ Involve Caregivers: Family members or caregivers can watch for proper form, assist with equipment, and provide encouragement.

✅ Track Progress: Recording daily reps and resistance can highlight progress and provide motivation.

What is freezing of gait?

Freezing of gait is the temporary, involuntary inability to move. It is a common impairment seen in Parkinson’s disease.

During an episode of freezing, a person with Parkinson’s disease may feel like their feet are glued to the ground.

What can trigger a freezing episode?

Freezing episodes tend to happen more often when a person with Parkinson’s is in transition, such as:

⭐️ Moving from sit to stand

🔆 Walking through a doorway

🔅Stepping over a threshold or change in flooring

⚠️ Turning around

Freezing episodes can also occur during a stressful situation or when attempting to multitask.

LSVT BIG is an evidence based exercise treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease that can help reduce symptoms such as freezing.
