Bed Exercises For Strength and Mobility (Beginner Level)

Upper Body Bed Exercises FOR SENIORS

Join me, Mike—a physiotherapist—for this Upper Body Bed Exercise session.

This routine is designed for individuals spending extended time in bed due to various reasons such as illness, injury, stroke recovery, surgery, or limited mobility.

In this video, we focus on gentle upper body movements to maintain mobility and prevent stiffness. Additionally, we incorporate deep breathing exercises to promote lung health and relaxation. These are a series of videos I have wanted to create for a while.

This is part 1: of the series of bed exercises working on mobility and helping strengthen all regions of the upper body, and we also do a stretch and some deep breathing at the end.

You can progress these exercises by adding in weights or a resistance band..

For PART 2 of the series, Lower Body Bed Exercises Click Here. In part 2, we will do exercises to strengthen the legs, the core and help with lower body mobility.

Remember to stay moving!

Stay healthy! Stay active, stay happy! and I’ll see you soon!
