A hot bath with Epsom salt! Relaxing and soaking! Lighting a candle before of course. Putting on a nice soft pair of pj's and cuddling up with your favorite soft blankie

Epsom salts lotion has become very helpful. Exercise in the 92° therapy pool and rest.

  I've never heard of Epsom Salt Lotion! I had to look it up and now I want to order 2 bottles of it! Does it help more with soreness or stiffness? -Latoya (Team Member)

  Water is so beneficial! One of our community members was told that just sitting in a pool, letting the anti-gravity effects help, can offer relief. And warm water sounds lovely. All the best, Kathy (Team member)

  I’ve been thinking about trying Pilates but haven’t started yet. I didn’t even think about doing it online, that’s such a great idea! I really like how you find ways to stay moving! -Latoya (Team Member)
