  • Stress & anxiety can cause muscles to tighten leading to pain and tension throughout the body. These relaxing stretches may help. I’m doing these stretches on the floor, but they can also be done on a bed or couch. Buy a worksheet with these stretches: www.askdoctorjo.com/5-relaxin...
    Start off with a cat/cow or cat/dog stretch and a child’s pose/prayer stretch. These help loosen up the neck, shoulders, back, and hips.
    Next rolling over onto the back, the single knee to chest and double knee to chest also help relieve tension in the back, hips, and knees.
    Finally, a trunk rotation helps relax the muscles on the sides of the body.

      I’m going through the same thing for over a month now and this came out of nowhere. We’re not alone in this remember that, we can heal together. Have faith in God and keep praying. I’m praying and doing mediation too. But my Psychiatrist doc put me on medication since last night. I’m feeling dizzy for about 24 hrs now but I’m not sure if it’s helping or no 50/50!!!
      Hope we all heal soon

    I started following you after my surgery. I'm an amputee above the knee. Trouble with my elbows trouble with my shoulders. I watch your videos and it has really helped me. Even when you say get on your hands and knees. Cut my bounce and I can do these things now. The only problem I have is keeping my muscles in my amputated leg from shrinking I can feel them shrinking. It is a natural process that you have to work every day to keep them from. Is there anything you can help help me with that
