GLIA ACTIVATETM finds creative ways to build and consolidate movement. Grip, twist, squeeze. Push, pull and rotate. These targeted workouts harness the power of repetition and intensive practice to optimise your potential for recovery.
What you will learn
This program builds on your body posture through trunk, shoulder and breath control. You will learn to engage your arm in different postures like forward and reclined sitting, side to side weight shift control, lying and transitioning to build resilience and strength in your larger muscle groups. This may increase flexibility, endurance and weight bearing abilities in the arm, specifically on your elbow, forearm, wrist and fingers, which may allow your fingers to open.
The program includes a step-by-step followable workout that is side-specific and can be worked at your own pace as many times as you wish. The program progresses from easy to more difficult positions.
Who this is for
- Those who have limited shoulder and trunk strength and endurance .
- Those who struggle to transition from sitting to lying on their back and their sides .
- Those who would like to increase their ability to use their affected arm for weight bearing .
- Those who would like to increase their flexibility of their trunk, shoulder and elbow.
Key focus areas
- Brain areas that control finger movement .
- Brain and spinal cord areas that control trunk movements.
- Muscles and joints of the trunk and shoulder on both sides .
- Muscles and joints of the elbow, forearm, wrist and fingers .
