Morning stiffness, aching and reduced mobility often affect the shoulders, upper arms, hips and thighs. Getting dressed, reaching for an object, standing from a chair or walking after sitting can become uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1533\">Gentle physical activity can help you maintain mobility while you manage PMR. However, stretching needs to be approached carefully. During an active flare, forcing a stiff joint or stretching through significant pain may make you feel worse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1819\">The best Stretches for Polymyalgia Rheumatica are generally gentle, controlled movements that work within a comfortable range. They can form part of a broader management plan that may include prescribed treatment, physical activity, rest and advice from a healthcare professional. Polymyalgia Rheumatica stretching, including gentle shoulder stretches, hip stretches and movements that may support stiffness relief.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Does Polymyalgia Rheumatica Cause Stiffness?<\/h2>\n<p>PMR is an inflammatory condition that mainly affects structures around the shoulders and hips. Stiffness is often particularly noticeable after waking or after remaining still for a period.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2342\">The stiffness can limit your normal range of movement. For example, you may find it difficult to:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2529\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1kjwn6m\" data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2377\">Raise your arms above your head<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"xs7vs3\" data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2402\">Reach behind your back<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1l5t8gw\" data-start=\"2403\" data-end=\"2418\">Put on a coat<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1n4yxc9\" data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2439\">Get out of a chair<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"d4t87r\" data-start=\"2440\" data-end=\"2466\">Climb stairs comfortably<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"soxh1m\" data-start=\"2467\" data-end=\"2504\">Walk easily after prolonged sitting<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1xdha90\" data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2529\">Turn or bend your body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2776\">Treatment prescribed by your doctor is important because PMR is an inflammatory condition. Stretching does not treat the underlying inflammation. Instead, gentle movement may help you maintain flexibility and confidence with everyday activities.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"zj1txk\" data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2811\">Are Stretches Safe During PMR?<\/h2>\n<p>Gentle stretching is often suitable when it feels comfortable, but your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbs-solutions-by-nature.com\/blog\/polymyalgia-rheumatica-symptoms-causes-diagnosis-treatment\/\">Polymyalgia Rheumatica symptoms<\/a> should guide how much you do.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2925\" data-end=\"3070\">A useful principle is gentle movement rather than forceful stretching. You should feel mild tension or movement, not sharp or worsening pain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3072\" data-end=\"3088\">Before starting:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"3090\" data-end=\"3412\">\n<li data-section-id=\"wdso5z\" data-start=\"3090\" data-end=\"3105\">Move slowly.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"ri6dh2\" data-start=\"3106\" data-end=\"3137\">Keep your breathing relaxed.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"pd4ovx\" data-start=\"3138\" data-end=\"3167\">Avoid bouncing or jerking.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"119u08r\" data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3219\">Do not force a stiff joint into a deep position.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"11a4niv\" data-start=\"3220\" data-end=\"3267\">Stop if an exercise causes significant pain.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"8m8jbu\" data-start=\"3268\" data-end=\"3329\">Reduce the intensity if your symptoms increase afterwards.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"98c5us\" data-start=\"3330\" data-end=\"3412\">Ask a physiotherapist or doctor for individual advice if movement is difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"3414\" data-end=\"3574\">If you have recently been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbs-solutions-by-nature.com\/blog\/how-is-polymyalgia-rheumatica-diagnosed\/\">diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica<\/a>, have severe symptoms or are experiencing a flare, professional guidance can help you choose appropriate exercises.<\/p>\n<h2>10 Gentle Stretches for Polymyalgia Rheumatica<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Gentle Neck Rotation<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3659\" data-end=\"3733\">Neck movement can become restricted when stiffness affects the upper body.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3735\" data-end=\"3913\">Sit upright in a comfortable chair. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Slowly turn your head towards the right as far as feels comfortable. Return to the centre and repeat on the left.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3915\" data-end=\"3960\">Do not force your head towards your shoulder.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3962\" data-end=\"4007\"><strong data-start=\"3962\" data-end=\"3970\">Try:<\/strong> 3\u20135 gentle repetitions on each side.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4009\" data-end=\"4074\">This simple movement can help maintain comfortable neck mobility.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Shoulder Roll<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4097\" data-end=\"4193\">Shoulder rolls are among the easiest shoulder stretches to incorporate into a daily routine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4195\" data-end=\"4346\">Sit or stand with your arms relaxed. Slowly move your shoulders upwards, then gently backwards and downwards. Complete the movement in a smooth circle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4348\" data-end=\"4394\">Reverse the direction if it feels comfortable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4396\" data-end=\"4440\"><strong data-start=\"4396\" data-end=\"4404\">Try:<\/strong> 5\u201310 repetitions in each direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4442\" data-end=\"4562\">The movement should remain comfortable. Avoid making large circles if your shoulders are painful or severely restricted.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Supported Arm Raise<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4591\" data-end=\"4645\">This movement gently works through shoulder elevation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4647\" data-end=\"4787\">Sit or stand near a wall or stable surface. Slowly raise one arm forwards, stopping before you reach a painful position. Lower it gradually.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4789\" data-end=\"4855\">You can use your other hand to provide light support if necessary.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4857\" data-end=\"4893\"><strong data-start=\"4857\" data-end=\"4865\">Try:<\/strong> 5 repetitions on each side.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4895\" data-end=\"5003\">As mobility improves, you may gradually increase the range, but there is no need to force your arm overhead.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Wall-Assisted Shoulder Stretch<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5043\" data-end=\"5202\">Stand facing a wall. Place your fingertips or palm against it at a comfortable height. Slowly walk your fingers upwards while keeping your movement controlled.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5204\" data-end=\"5293\">Stop when you feel gentle stretching or when your shoulder reaches its comfortable limit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5295\" data-end=\"5328\">Slowly bring your hand back down.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5330\" data-end=\"5355\"><strong data-start=\"5330\" data-end=\"5338\">Try:<\/strong> 3\u20135 repetitions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5357\" data-end=\"5493\">This is a useful form of Polymyalgia Rheumatica stretching because the wall provides support and allows you to control the movement.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Chest-Opening Stretch<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5524\" data-end=\"5610\">Shoulder stiffness can make you spend more time with your upper body rounded forwards.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5612\" data-end=\"5756\">Sit or stand comfortably. Bring your shoulders gently backwards without forcing them. Keep your chest relaxed and avoid arching your lower back.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5758\" data-end=\"5812\">Hold the position for around 5\u201310 seconds, then relax.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5814\" data-end=\"5836\"><strong data-start=\"5814\" data-end=\"5825\">Repeat:<\/strong> 3\u20135 times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5838\" data-end=\"5934\">The purpose is to encourage comfortable upper-body movement rather than create a strong stretch.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Seated Hip Marching<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5963\" data-end=\"6048\">Hip movement is important because PMR can cause stiffness around the hips and thighs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6050\" data-end=\"6195\">Sit securely in a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lift one knee a small distance, then lower it. Repeat with the other leg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6197\" data-end=\"6224\">Continue alternating sides.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6226\" data-end=\"6260\"><strong data-start=\"6226\" data-end=\"6234\">Try:<\/strong> 5\u201310 repetitions per leg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6262\" data-end=\"6331\">This movement can be especially useful after sitting for a long time.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Gentle Seated Hip Stretch<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6366\" data-end=\"6477\">Sit towards the front of a sturdy chair while keeping your back supported and your feet positioned comfortably.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6479\" data-end=\"6636\">Move one leg slightly backwards while keeping your foot in contact with the floor. Keep the movement small and comfortable. Return to your starting position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6638\" data-end=\"6664\">Repeat with the other leg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6666\" data-end=\"6700\"><strong data-start=\"6666\" data-end=\"6674\">Try:<\/strong> 3\u20135 repetitions per side.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6702\" data-end=\"6814\">If your hips are particularly painful or stiff, ask a physiotherapist whether this movement is suitable for you.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Supported Standing Hip Extension<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6856\" data-end=\"6905\">Stand behind a sturdy chair and hold it securely.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6907\" data-end=\"7075\">Keeping your body upright, slowly move one leg backwards a short distance. Avoid leaning forwards or arching your lower back. Return your foot to the starting position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7077\" data-end=\"7103\">Repeat with the other leg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7105\" data-end=\"7137\"><strong data-start=\"7105\" data-end=\"7113\">Try:<\/strong> 5 repetitions per side.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7139\" data-end=\"7225\">This gentle movement encourages hip mobility while the chair provides balance support.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Calf Stretch Against a Wall<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"7262\" data-end=\"7382\">Although PMR mainly affects the shoulder and hip areas, keeping your lower limbs mobile can support comfortable walking.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7384\" data-end=\"7528\">Face a wall and place both hands against it. Step one foot backwards. Keep the back heel down if comfortable, with the front knee slightly bent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7530\" data-end=\"7609\">Lean forwards gently until you feel a mild stretch in the calf of the back leg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7611\" data-end=\"7667\">Hold for approximately 10\u201320 seconds, then change sides.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7669\" data-end=\"7683\">Do not bounce.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Gentle Whole-Body Mobility Routine<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"7728\" data-end=\"7840\">You do not necessarily need a long exercise session. A short sequence can help you introduce movement gradually.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7842\" data-end=\"7854\">For example:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"7856\" data-end=\"8009\">\n<li data-section-id=\"zwcf4o\" data-start=\"7856\" data-end=\"7872\">Shoulder rolls<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1wymgn1\" data-start=\"7873\" data-end=\"7896\">Gentle neck rotations<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1811i9z\" data-start=\"7897\" data-end=\"7919\">Supported arm raises<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"4zhlpq\" data-start=\"7920\" data-end=\"7941\">Seated hip marching<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"vf2c7p\" data-start=\"7942\" data-end=\"7959\">Ankle movements<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"adh5hm\" data-start=\"7960\" data-end=\"7980\">Supported standing<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1fpko77\" data-start=\"7981\" data-end=\"8009\">Short, comfortable walking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"8011\" data-end=\"8068\">Perform each movement slowly and take breaks when needed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8070\" data-end=\"8131\">The aim is to maintain movement rather than exhaust yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Morning Stretches for PMR Stiffness<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"8177\" data-end=\"8327\">Morning stiffness is one of the most recognisable symptoms associated with PMR. You may find that moving immediately after waking feels uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8329\" data-end=\"8408\">Instead of getting out of bed quickly, consider beginning with small movements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8410\" data-end=\"8418\">You can:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"8420\" data-end=\"8649\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1plh18k\" data-start=\"8420\" data-end=\"8451\">Move your ankles up and down.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"m0bobr\" data-start=\"8452\" data-end=\"8492\">Bend and straighten your knees gently.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1onazhb\" data-start=\"8493\" data-end=\"8523\">Move your hands and fingers.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"sq6118\" data-start=\"8524\" data-end=\"8563\">Roll your shoulders after sitting up.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"vujvcr\" data-start=\"8564\" data-end=\"8592\">Take several slow breaths.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"167uqk1\" data-start=\"8593\" data-end=\"8649\">Stand up gradually using a stable support if required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"8651\" data-end=\"8731\">Once you are up, gentle walking around the room may help you become more mobile.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8733\" data-end=\"8900\">Do not treat morning stiffness as something you must push through. If your symptoms are severe or suddenly different from usual, speak to your healthcare professional.<\/p>\n<h2>Shoulder Stretches for Polymyalgia Rheumatica<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"8956\" data-end=\"9089\">Shoulder stiffness can interfere with many everyday activities. You may struggle to reach shelves, wash your hair or put on clothing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9091\" data-end=\"9170\">Gentle <strong data-start=\"9098\" data-end=\"9120\">shoulder stretches<\/strong> should focus on maintaining comfortable movement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9172\" data-end=\"9195\">Useful options include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"9197\" data-end=\"9317\">\n<li data-section-id=\"zwcf4o\" data-start=\"9197\" data-end=\"9213\">Shoulder rolls<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1811i9z\" data-start=\"9214\" data-end=\"9236\">Supported arm raises<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"c53b7h\" data-start=\"9237\" data-end=\"9267\">Wall-assisted finger walking<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"147btms\" data-start=\"9268\" data-end=\"9290\">Gentle chest opening<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1vx7jqk\" data-start=\"9291\" data-end=\"9317\">Controlled arm movements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"9319\" data-end=\"9452\">Try to keep your movements slow. A smaller range that feels comfortable is preferable to forcing your shoulder through a large range.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9454\" data-end=\"9566\">You can gradually increase movement as your symptoms improve, particularly with guidance from a physiotherapist.<\/p>\n<h2>Hip Stretches for Polymyalgia Rheumatica<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"9617\" data-end=\"9694\">Hip stiffness may affect walking, getting out of a chair and climbing stairs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9696\" data-end=\"9756\">Gentle hip stretches and mobility exercises can include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"9758\" data-end=\"9903\">\n<li data-section-id=\"4zhlpq\" data-start=\"9758\" data-end=\"9779\">Seated hip marching<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"jelucu\" data-start=\"9780\" data-end=\"9805\">Supported hip extension<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"lr7t5z\" data-start=\"9806\" data-end=\"9828\">Gentle leg movements<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1csg8q8\" data-start=\"9829\" data-end=\"9867\">Short periods of comfortable walking<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"2cmoln\" data-start=\"9868\" data-end=\"9903\">Controlled sit-to-stand movements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"9905\" data-end=\"9986\">If you have balance problems, perform standing exercises beside a secure surface.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9988\" data-end=\"10058\">A chair should be stable and should not slide easily across the floor.<\/p>\n<h2>How Often Should You Stretch?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"10098\" data-end=\"10168\">There is no single stretching schedule suitable for everyone with PMR.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10170\" data-end=\"10361\">Some people may tolerate short sessions once or twice a day, while others may need more rest. Your symptoms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbs-solutions-by-nature.com\/product\/polymyalgia-rheumatica\/\">Polymyalgia Rheumatica treatment<\/a> and overall mobility should determine the appropriate level of activity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10363\" data-end=\"10462\">A practical approach is to start with a few gentle movements rather than completing a long routine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10464\" data-end=\"10476\">For example:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10478\" data-end=\"10522\"><strong data-start=\"10478\" data-end=\"10490\">Morning:<\/strong> 5\u201310 minutes of gentle mobility<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10524\" data-end=\"10589\"><strong data-start=\"10524\" data-end=\"10543\">During the day:<\/strong> brief movement breaks after prolonged sitting<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10591\" data-end=\"10664\"><strong data-start=\"10591\" data-end=\"10603\">Evening:<\/strong> gentle shoulder and hip movements if they remain comfortable<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10666\" data-end=\"10750\">Consistency is usually more useful than pushing yourself through an intense session.<\/p>\n<h2>Stretching During a PMR Flare<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"10790\" data-end=\"10929\">A flare can make normal movement more difficult. During these periods, you may need to reduce the intensity and duration of your exercises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10931\" data-end=\"11024\">Instead of performing deep stretches, focus on small movements within your comfortable range.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11026\" data-end=\"11057\">For example, you could perform:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"11059\" data-end=\"11185\">\n<li data-section-id=\"gbxxrd\" data-start=\"11059\" data-end=\"11082\">Gentle shoulder rolls<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"xzfrjt\" data-start=\"11083\" data-end=\"11104\">Small arm movements<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"13qw28n\" data-start=\"11105\" data-end=\"11129\">Seated ankle movements<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1xem2to\" data-start=\"11130\" data-end=\"11153\">Gentle knee movements<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"afuf3u\" data-start=\"11154\" data-end=\"11185\">Short periods of easy walking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"11187\" data-end=\"11268\">Avoid aggressive stretching when your pain and stiffness are significantly worse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11270\" data-end=\"11406\">If symptoms suddenly become much more severe, contact your healthcare professional rather than assuming you simply need to stretch more.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Stretching Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"11452\" data-end=\"11536\">Stretching can become counterproductive when you push beyond your comfortable range.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"84vaxw\" data-start=\"11538\" data-end=\"11569\">Stretching too aggressively<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"11571\" data-end=\"11672\">A strong pulling sensation is not necessary for beneficial mobility work. Avoid forcing stiff joints.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1ystdio\" data-start=\"11674\" data-end=\"11697\">Holding your breath<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"11699\" data-end=\"11785\">Relaxed breathing can make movement easier. Breathe normally throughout each exercise.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"k0yjw3\" data-start=\"11787\" data-end=\"11799\">Bouncing<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"11801\" data-end=\"11901\">Bouncing can place unnecessary stress on muscles and joints.

Your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid treatment and monitor your symptoms and response to treatment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"13856\" data-end=\"14001\">Gentle exercise can have a supportive role by helping maintain mobility and physical function. However, it does not replace prescribed treatment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14003\" data-end=\"14243\">If you are considering natural approaches, herbal products or supplements alongside your PMR treatment, discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist. Some products can interact with medicines or may not be appropriate for certain people.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating a Simple PMR Stretching Routine<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"14294\" data-end=\"14327\">You can keep your routine simple.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14329\" data-end=\"14341\">For example:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14343\" data-end=\"14400\"><strong data-start=\"14343\" data-end=\"14354\">Step 1:<\/strong> Start with slow breathing and shoulder rolls.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14402\" data-end=\"14444\"><strong data-start=\"14402\" data-end=\"14413\">Step 2:<\/strong> Perform gentle neck rotations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14446\" data-end=\"14483\"><strong data-start=\"14446\" data-end=\"14457\">Step 3:<\/strong> Try supported arm raises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14485\" data-end=\"14531\"><strong data-start=\"14485\" data-end=\"14496\">Step 4:<\/strong> Sit down and perform hip marching.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14533\" data-end=\"14574\"><strong data-start=\"14533\" data-end=\"14544\">Step 5:<\/strong> Perform gentle leg movements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14576\" data-end=\"14644\"><strong data-start=\"14576\" data-end=\"14587\">Step 6:<\/strong> Stand with support and take a short walk if comfortable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14646\" data-end=\"14737\">You can repeat the movements that feel helpful while leaving out anything that causes pain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"14739\" data-end=\"14802\">As your mobility changes, your routine may also need to change.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"14827\" data-end=\"15125\">The best Stretches for Polymyalgia Rheumatica are gentle, controlled and suited to your current level of mobility. Shoulder rolls, supported arm movements, seated hip exercises and gentle leg stretches can help you maintain comfortable movement without placing excessive demands on stiff areas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"15127\" data-end=\"15302\">Remember that stretching is supportive rather than a cure. PMR needs appropriate medical management, and your exercise routine should complement\u2014not replace\u2014professional care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"15304\" data-end=\"15543\">Start slowly, avoid forcing painful movements and allow your body enough time to recover. If you are unsure which Polymyalgia Rheumatica stretching exercises are appropriate for you, a physiotherapist can provide personalised guidance.<\/p>\n<h3>Medical Disclaimer<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"15568\" data-end=\"16084\">This article is for general educational purposes only and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
