Quotidian challenges
Where are those helpful woodland creatures when you need them? |
Getting dressed feels like a workout in itself these days.
Reduced arm and back strength makes yoga tops and bras especially challenging. Weakness in back and pelvis makes stepping into pants difficult.
What helps
I have found that trying to maintain range of motion with arms and shoulders helps:
- stretching often (reaching overhead)
- the yoga pose called Gomukhasana
- sitting down to put on pants and shoes
You can always become a nudist.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post, but so sorry to know these everyday tasks have become a burden. It sucks to pour effort into something that *should* be automatic.
ReplyDeleteEvery day a new opportunity for yoga . . .
