Can gentle exercise ideas help with stiffness in the morning?

Yes, gentle exercise can often help ease morning stiffness. Slow movements such as ankle circles in bed, shoulder rolls while seated, careful arm stretches and a few sit-to-stands after getting dressed may help the body feel less rigid and more prepared for the day ahead. The key is to move gradually, avoid sudden twists and give joints time to warm up. Some people find it helpful to start after a warm drink or breakfast, especially if energy is low first thing. We can support morning routines in a way that feels calm and unhurried, including help with washing, dressing and personal hygiene, which can make it easier to fit gentle movement into the start of the day.
