When was the last time you got down on the floor, and back up again?
Maybe it was to play with a grandchild, reach something under the bed, stretch, or work on a project.
Getting up from the floor involves strength, balance, mobility, and a little problem-solving. And like many everyday movements, it can become more challenging when we rarely practice it.
The goal isn’t to do it perfectly or without using your hands. A sturdy piece of furniture can offer support, and there’s more than one way to move.
I think about wellness and aging in place this way: caring for our bodies and creating supportive spaces can help us keep doing the things that matter to us.
What’s something you enjoy doing that takes you down to the floor or ground?
