Susheelam

Susheelam

Susheelam signifies a good habit. In the spirit of this concept, MinD created the programme ‘Susheelam' to bring movement into the lives of those suffering from Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The framework of this programme is to start the beginning of each day with meditation, breathing exercises, and physical exercises to refresh, rejuvenate, and strengthen the mind and muscles. The ‘Susheelam’ program makes it possible to organize the daily routine of each person who is experiencing muscle deterioration and to facilitate some physical movements. Habits such as meditation, breathing and physical exercises can make their functioning smoother and reduce stress. This could in turn create a much healthier mental environment. The yoga sessions included in this program could be useful especially to those having no access to physiotherapy. For individuals with Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy, it is essential to maintain their current physical condition without any sort of deterioration. For this to happen, exercise and physiotherapy should be integrated into their daily routine. MinD has planned some strategies to push ahead effectively in this direction. Every two weeks, an online class will be organized in collaboration with a physiotherapist. MinD believes that this will be an opportunity for open discussions and resolving doubts. We are hopeful that through these classes and follow-up sessions that are going to be implemented as part of ‘Susheelam’, all the members are sure to have an orderly and healthy life ahead.
