🌟 Movement Monday: Exercise Techniques for a Healthier You 🌟
Enhance your balance and coordination with single-leg stands. Stand on one foot, keeping your body upright and stable. To make it more challenging, close your eyes or try gentle leg swings with the lifted leg. This technique improves ankle strength, posture, and proprioception, making everyday movements more fluid and safe.
If you need assistance, don't hesitate to consult your physiotherapist.

Core-Strengthening Plank
Start with a basic forearm plank, holding for 20-30 seconds, and progress to side planks or shoulder-tap planks for an added challenge. Keep your back straight, engage your abdominal muscles, and remember to breathe. Planking strengthens not just your abs but also your shoulders, back, and glutes!

Dynamic Stretching for Warm-Ups
Get your body ready for movement with dynamic stretches! Unlike static stretches, dynamic ones involve moving through a range of motion to activate muscles and increase blood flow. Try arm circles, leg swings, or walking lunges before your workout. Dynamic stretching helps improve flexibility, coordination, and performance while reducing the risk of injury.

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities!

The leadership of individuals with disabilities is encapsulated by the powerful slogan of the global disability rights movement: β€œNothing About Us Without Us.” This phrase signifies the fundamental needs for participation, representation, and inclusion, urging individuals with disabilities to actively influence the circumstances of their own lives.

One of the key priorities within the global disability agenda is to promote the agency and leadership of individuals with disabilities. Over the past few decades, people with disabilities and their organizations (OPDs) have advocated for transformative changes in their communities. They have spearheaded numerous community-led initiatives aimed not only at advancing their own rights and well-being but also at fostering inclusive development. This includes ensuring universal access to essential services for everyone. They have achieved this through a combination of targeted strategies and mainstreaming approaches to disability inclusion, utilizing methods such as consultation, data collection and analysis, and providing support for advocacy and accountability efforts.

The celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2024 (IDPD 2024) occurs amidst significant global events, including the Summit of the Future and the forthcoming Second World Summit for Social Development. These important summits will work in tandem to create an ongoing framework for achieving disability-inclusive and sustainable peace and development. By highlighting this synergy, the theme selected for the 2024 observance aims to emphasize the vital role of individuals with disabilities in fostering inclusive and sustainable peace and development for everyone. 2024 Theme: Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future.
