I get awful spasms and pain in my hips from being stuck in my chair all day. I've just tried this stretch for the first time and it'll be part of my daily routine from now on! Thank you! :)
This is great , i have been getting so much lower back pain from being in a wheelchair all the time ,i tried all the exersises that are available for able-bodies people and nothing seems to work but this exersise is exactly what i need
Thank you so so much for posting this, I currently work with a client / dear friend who has multiple extreme complications so finding stretches that he is able to do can be complicated but this sitting on the side of the bed and stretching to elongate the hip flexors, this will be life-changing for him I can assure you that. I see him in a few hours and I'm trying to incorporate some new stretches so thank you so much for taking the time and doing this video, greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for great tips in this video! Can you please share which cushion from pressure sores you are using? My cousin is on wheelchair and she has sores problem coming back from time to time and we really want to prevent a new one.🙏🏻
Super late to this video Ben, but does this stretch do the same thing as the one you've shown where you lie on your belly and prop yourself up on your elbows?
@@AdaptToPerform Awesome, thank you. My muscles are so tight it's pulling up into my back and docs gave no solutions. I have to try this to help myself. I appreciate you answering on such an old video!
Bro i'm a c five c six Quad but i don't have that much force in my hands to get myself off the bed like you do Any upper body workout your recommended or is it too late i've been like this for 10 years but i want to use A Manual chair

Perfect 😃 let me know how you get on 😀
Thank you young man and God bless.
No worries. My pleasure 😊
Just keep motivating us Ben....😉😁👍
No plans on stopping 😊😊
Thank’s Ben it really helps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely a helpful video. My son has muscular dystrophy & he tends to get tight along if he doesn't stretch
I'm glad I can help 😊
please make a vid on to get up from lying posture being a quad.
Sounds good I'll add it to my list
Good idea
Many many thanks
That’s a great stretch. I just need to be consistent with it. Especially in the mornings. That’s when I’m stiff as a board.
It's a great way to start the day!
You can do this in a power wheelchair by just reclining the backrest all the way back and keeping the seat flat. 👍🏼
Reclining power chair?! That's amazing! I'd be so chilled out 😋
@@AdaptToPerform It beats a manual wheelchair in almost all aspects. Lol
I'm glad it works for you so well
Mason, how long do you recline for? And do you do it regularly?
@@LifeByIan I used to recline regularly for 10 minutes but now I just recline if I take a nap. Haha
Looks like a good stretch to try out. I will have to give this a try. Off subject, what kind of cushion is on your chair?
It's a stimulite slimline xs
Are you happy with this cushion? How long have you been using it? @@AdaptToPerform
I've had it 3 years and I love it!
My only concern would be falling out of the bed. How can I stop this from happening?
You can have someone for assistance but generally I find it's okay as long as the bum is on the bed
@@AdaptToPerform thanks for the advice bro. I appreciate it.

Yes this is a more gentle version

I also get a really stiff upper back I don't know if it's anxiety or tension but it gets completely stiff any stretching you recommend
