Gentle Mobility Exercises for Recovery

Light movement can help maintain range of motion and reduce stiffness after an injury. Start with pain-free motions and stop if discomfort increases.

Ankle circles, shoulder rolls, and easy knee bends are examples of mobility drills that keep joints lubricated without stressing healing tissues.

Perform a few repetitions several times per day. Controlled breathing and slow pacing are key—these movements should feel restorative, not fatiguing.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider to ensure the exercises are appropriate for your stage of recovery.
