Hip Walking

This maintains the ability to move forwards in a chair.

  • Sit upright in your usual chair. Sit as tall as you can.
  • Hold the sides of the chair and begin to walk the hips forwards, one at a time until you reach the front of your chair.
  • Now walk the hips back until your bottom and spine reach the back of the chair.
  • Aim to maintain good posture even in this rest position.

Repeat 3 to 5 times every day.
