Stiffness has a context
Stiffness can follow inactivity, repetitive activity, training, stress, poor recovery, or injury. Look for the pattern rather than focusing only on the sensation.
Move regularly
Gentle movement throughout the day is usually easier to maintain than one intense mobility session each week. Change positions and choose activities appropriate to your current ability.
Hands-on care can be a complement
Massage may address muscular tension, while manual osteopathic therapy may use a broader movement-oriented approach. Both should be individualized.
Yoga as a movement option
Yoga can combine controlled movement, breathing, strength, and flexibility work. Start at an appropriate level and modify movements that cause pain.
