THE SELF-CARE LIBRARY

A little care,
between visits.

Choose one place to begin.
Move gently. Make it your own.

GO SLOWLY. STAY COMFORTABLE.

Gentle tension,
never pain.

These are general movement ideas, not a treatment plan. Choose what feels comfortable and ask a qualified healthcare professional to help you adapt them.

  • Warm up with 5–10 minutes of easy walking or similar light movement.
  • Move slowly, breathe normally and do not bounce. Use shorter holds or smaller movements whenever needed.
  • Stop for pain, tingling, numbness or dizziness. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or return.
  • If you are pregnant, recovering from an injury or surgery, or have a medical condition, check with your clinician before starting.

Mayo Clinic: stretching safely · NHS stretching guidance

GROUP 01 / GENTLE MOVEMENT

10 stretches.
Choose your starting point.

Open a card for setup, gentle instructions, things to notice and further reading. The first six focus on body areas; guided, forearm and desk options round out the group. There is no need to do everything.

GROUP 02 / RECOVERY & EVERYDAY CARE

10 ways to care.
Keep the basics close.

Begin with sleep, comfortable movement, food and fluids. Explore optional tools and comfort aids with clear instructions, product-selection notes and realistic evidence limits.

Education first. Tools are optional. A product mention is not a promise of pain relief, faster healing or better results than a simple alternative.

Product mentions are optional examples, not medical endorsements or claims of partnership. These are ordinary reference links, without affiliate tracking. Manufacturer instructions help with safe use; they are not independent evidence that a product works better.
