SELF-CARE GUIDANCES FOR SAFE MOVEMENT
” ‘Relaxercise’ is able to bring your body remarkable benefits that have never before been possible with other exercise systems :
1. Make Each Movement Easy
2. Go slowly
3 Relax as much as you can
4 Rest briefly after each movement.
You should never experience discomfort or pain while doing a Relaxercise exercise.
Pain indicates physical irritation.
If you begin to experience any physical discomfort at all,
respond by making each of your movements extra small, extra slight, and extra easy –
– or just imagine doing the movements without actually moving.”
