Standing Stretches for Seniors – Real-time Routine


Buy Cervical Vertigo WorksheetThis standing stretching routine for seniors focuses on simple stretches that can help loosen up the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and knees.

This standing routine is performed in real time, so it’s easy to follow along. It’s a great daily routine for seniors or for anyone looking for an easy but effective standing stretching routine.

Start off this standing stretching routine with a warmup including neck circles, standing Ts, modified jumping jacks, and standing march to help get the muscles warm and loose.

The first stretch, a standing sidebend, is great for the neck, arms, upper back, and hips.

Next, a chest stretch is a great way to open up the chest area, and this will also help with shoulders and breathing.

The final stretches might be best done while holding onto a chair, countertop, or using a cane for balance. Side lunge stretch, runner’s stretch, and standing hamstring stretch are all great to loosen up the muscles in the legs.
