lack of flexibility of joints, the commonest reason for pain

I see quite a lot of patients who have pain in the arms, legs, back and neck. most of the pain is due to lack of flexibility of joints due to our current style.

Sitting on the floor , squatting, bending etc are activities one did as a child and yet we have forgotten how to do now.

most pain can be relieved by keeping all the joints of our body move through full range.

one can start with simple exercises as shown in the link below

warm up,cool down and keep flexible by AAOS

or you can do the full Yoga or Pilate exercises.

I will brief on some of the simple yoga exercises in the blogs to come

Warm Regards
