Practice Warnings and Instructions
Learn Your Sequence Exercises
-
Place your device at eye level and follow along with the video.
-
The best spot at home is often the kitchen counter. Place your device on the counter and stand tall in front of the sink—as if it were a ballet barre.
-
Imitate the instructor and follow the on-screen visual cues—lines, circles, arrows, and breathing prompts—to guide your movements.
-
Always perform the exercises gently and without pain, aiming for smooth, coordinated, and harmonious movement.
Practice the 10-Minute Routine Daily
-
Complete the full 10-minute video once per day, practicing all 7 exercises in the order shown.
-
The goal is simple: feel better after each session than you did before.
-
With consistent practice, your movements will become more fluid, and your body will begin to feel stronger and more at ease.
Use Your Strategic Exercise Wisely
-
Identify the one exercise that gives you the most immediate pain relief—this is your Strategic Exercise.
-
Use this exercise freely throughout the day or night when pain returns—outside your regular 10-minute routine.
-
For best results, do it early—at the first sign of pain. This is when the Strategic Exercise is most effective.
-
If it works, repeat the Strategic Exercise as often as needed. This gives you control over your recovery curve.
Important: Pain-Free Is Essential
These exercises are designed to be pain-free, even for individuals with lower-body movement limitations. Never push through pain or discomfort.
If any movement causes pain or discomfort:
-
Review your technique using the visual cues in the video above.
-
Adjust your position (e.g., stand closer to the barre) to reduce the challenge.
-
Reduce your range of motion to maintain smooth, pain-free movement.
If pain persists:
-
Skip the uncomfortable exercise for now and continue practicing the others.
-
Retry the skipped exercise the following week to check for progress.
-
-
Return to the previous level sequence and progress later when you are more comfortable.
-
If pain or lack of improvement continues, stop practicing and consult a physical therapist or movement specialist before proceeding.
When to Advance to the Next Level
-
With consistent, mindful, and pain-free daily practice, the Level-1 sequence should feel easier. You’ll notice improved comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.
-
Once you can complete all your current sequence exercises harmoniously and without pain, and feel less pain and stronger as a result, you’re ready to progress to the next level of your journey.
-
If you’re training with an instructor, consult before making the decision to advance.
