Support the healing process at every stage of your rehabilitation with this collection of Essentrics workouts.

Check with your doctor first before you start these workouts.

Read the description in each workout to determine what phase of recovery you are in, as well as helpful tips & goals for each phase.

PHASE 1
This is the early stage of the recovery process. If you are in this phase, you may still be going through the active phase of the disease. You are feeling very weak & will probably need to sit down to do the exercises.

The goal in Phase 1 is to:
· Improve circulation to prevent blood clots from forming and support the healing process
· Gently activate and stimulate your muscles and nervous system
· Do light stretches to prevent becoming overly tight

You are ready to move onto the longer workouts in Phase 2 once you start feeling less tired.

PHASE 2
Once you no longer feel too tired and need to recover after doing Phase 1 workouts, you can progress to Phase 2.

This is a progression from the first stage of your recovery process. You will be feeling a bit better and stronger, and can now do short, easy standing workouts.

The goal in Phase 2 is to:
· Take the next step to build your strength back up
· Increase full-body mobility in a way that is respectful and effective
· Gradually build up stamina

PHASE 3
At this point you are feeling stronger, have gained stamina and you are ready to take the next step in your rehabilitation process.

The goal in Phase 3 is to:
· Keep building your stamina
· Introduce more complex movement patterns to improve body awareness and
stimulate the brain and your cognitive functions
· Start feeling like yourself again, with re-gained mobility and strength
