It can help with flexibility and circulation, but if your doctor says no to doing more than stretching or yoga, that is all you do. Consistency and consistency in treatment build long-term strength and flexibility.

Every step that you take helps to heal as well as build a foundation for a healthier, more empowered life in the future.
