#prolongedsitting

🪑 Did you know that prolonged sitting can seriously impact your health?

Extended periods of sitting have been linked to:

❌ Obesity

❌ Cardiovascular disease

❌ Diabetes

❌ Increased mortality risk

Whether you’re working at a desk or confined to a wheelchair, staying active and stretching regularly is crucial.

✅ Take regular breaks

✅ Do gentle stretches

✅ Go for short walks

✅ Use a standing desk when possible

🧑🦽 Wheelchair tip: With brakes on, use the arms of your chair to gently lift your torso using upper body strength. Stretch your midriff and back upwards, hold for 30 seconds, then lower slowly. Repeat 4–5 times every hour or two if possible.
