The benefits of flexxd® for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
flexxd® is a simple therapeutic movement modality designed to improve posture and stretch through a combination of yoga and resistance stretching. A series of strengthening and stretching movements ease pressure on the joints, especially the spine and hips.
People with rheumatoid arthritis need to stay active to minimise pain. Strengthening and stretching every muscle group can take pressure off the joints and help maintain mobility. flexxd® can provide many benefits including better posture, spinal stability, improved flexibility and strength and improved breathing.
flexxd® focuses on correct and smooth leg, arm, and shoulder movement. The strength and flexibility you gain will help you handle RA episodes better and lessen the risk of loss of mobility and decrease the risk of further damage. Walking, standing, and sitting can get easier with the improved range of motion from flexxd®. It can also improve breathing and can decrease stress.
You do not need to be flexible to begin. Clients can begin in chair classes and progress to mat classes.
Flexxd can be modified for the individual … from sitting in chairs for those with mobility issues to mat work. https://youtu.be/1z-8Brt0egQ
