Self-Management Tips
Simple techniques to help you manage your recovery and maintain your health at home.
Gentle Breathing
Slow, deep breathing can help reduce stress and ease muscle tension, promoting a sense of calm and safety.
Easy Walking
Short walks are excellent for circulation and can help maintain your energy levels without causing strain.
Heat or Cold
Applying heat can relax tight muscles, while cold helps reduce inflammation and soothe sore joints.
Managing Flare-Ups
When your body signals it needs rest, we recommend a gentle approach to pacing. This means reducing your activity level to prevent further strain and allow your body to recover safely.
Listen to Your Body
Stop any activity immediately if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, or a sudden loss of balance. These are signs that your body is sending you a stop signal.
Reduce Reps by Half
For any exercise that feels difficult, reduce the number of repetitions by 50%. This allows you to maintain a safe effort level while still keeping your muscles active.
Return to Beginner Level
Choose a beginner exercise from your exercise library. This helps you stay active without pushing your body beyond its current capacity.
Rest and Monitor
Take a break from exercise for 2–3 sessions. Monitor your symptoms closely. If they settle within 24 hours, you can gradually resume your routine.
