I am 24 and already suffering from lots of hip/neck/shoulder/back pains. All my muscles are just incredibly tense all the time, to the point where the muscles cramp up and give me awful headaches (though thankfully only for a few seconds). The way to improve all this tension? Movement, apparently. I have now set several timers to make sure I dont sit still for multiple hours on end. So far have only noticed small improvements, but Id recommend y'all to give it a go as well. Maybe it can prevent some more serious muscle pains for you x.

I've been trying to build up my chronically ill body to do more movement so I've been doing this 10 minute stretch every day for the past month. My body feels so good afterwards and I've started craving it in my achey bones.

Yes it’s annoying to start building this habit but I SWEAR it’s life changing!! My back hurts way less + I can move freely like Im actually my age and not 98

that’ll change my advice. are your hips even when you sit? when you walk? do you sit at work all day? do you lift heavy shit a lot?
general things to try: legs up the wall for 20 mins a day; pigeon or figure 4 to release the hips; gentle supine twists + thread the needle holds

I mostly do selfportraits with watercolours inherited from my mum and greatgrandma. I find that it helps me process and communicate emotions + it's easy to get reference pictures. (i also draw other people, like lovers and friends, sometimes)
