Abstract

Musculoskeletal pain can arise from trauma to joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae, or nerves. The group of people who are more likely to joint, tendon, and muscle problems are the ones who do not move much for lengthy stretches of time. The current work addresses the pain and remedies for this group of people, who could be mostly senior citizens. It does not matter whether these individuals are retired in their own homes, or put into nursing homes by their loved ones who no longer can care for them. The kind of chronic pain experienced by seniors with sedentary life styles, can be greatly improved by movement. This movement includes stretching exercises (from yoga, tai chi or other exercise program). Sedentary office workers in cities may also benefit from the exercise advice in this work.
