There are numerous exercise programs for people suffering from chronic pain. There are a few that are easy and doable for us. They include; Walking: walk 30 minutes a day at least 4 times a week.
Yoga for beginner’s Feldenkrais: which is basic stretching to get your body into alignment https://www.feldenkrais.com/
Stretching: Get on the floor and stretch arm and legs.
Weight training: Join a gym or use simple small weights at home on the days you feel like you can do it.
Diet: I love reading books on diet and eating healthy. When dealing with chronic pain we want to concentrate on anti-inflammatory diets and foods that affect our gut health. Eliminate foods containing processed sugars and white flour if possible.
