- Support posture, balance, reaching, bending, and other everyday movements.
- Progress gradually with breathing and body awareness instead of pushing through pain.
- Understand when it is wise to involve a doctor or physical therapist.
- Build a sustainable movement week and maintain the freedom you gain.
