Exercises for Chronic Pain // Stretch, Strengthen & Feel Relief
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2023
- Ease stiffness, and feel relief from chronic conditions causing your pain such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. In this gentle joint video I will walk you through exercises that will gently strengthen and stretch common troublesome areas.
This workout begins with a warm up in a standing position, then half way through we move to a seated position in a chair. If you are only able to complete the seated portion, then just simply fast forward to that section (about the 15 min mark).
Please make sure that you are in a warm environment. This will make sure that your muscles relax and don't cramp up. It is also important to stay hydrated. Drinking water will help lubricate your joints.
If you enjoy my yoga and pilates workouts, you will love this one as well!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 18 years old and have been dealing with unknown chronic pain since I was 12 years old. I haven't felt this much peace in my body in a very long time. Thank you so much
My pleasure. So glad it made you feel better :)
Sorry your so young to have chronic pain, glad this is helping you. I didn’t know what was causing my chronic pain, I had many tests, it turned out to be fibromyalgia.
Has that ever been mentioned to you ? Take care 💕
Hello,take gluten for a month to see what happens.it took my pain away, and also I took magnesium citrate,or bisglicinate, it helps a lot.
Much love to you. May the cause of the pain you've been experiencing be revealed to you 💚 Anayah
I made a comment to you before, what I meant is stop eating gluten( bread, pasta, soya with gluten, cookies) anything that has gluten on it for a month, and you could see if the muscle or body pain gets better. If this improve, you could have food sensitivities to gluten. I hope you get better.
Thank you so much for the work you do. I'm in my mid 20s and have been experiencing unexplained chronic pain for 10 years. What I love most about your videos is your gentle demeanor - there's no "no pain no gain", it's not about weight loss or changing how you look. It's about doing what feels good for your body. You're my favourite fitness RUclipsr. I would love more videos like this one!
Exactly Morgan! I just want people to feel better :)
I would also recommend this video for you :ruclips.net/video/czjAlf5A10w/видео.html
Hey I’m 18 too and also dealing with chronic pain for an unknown reason! Although mine hasnt been for 10 years! Only 2. Have you gone to many doctors about it?
This exercise is perfect for me on very painful days👍🏻🥰 I suffer from fibromyalgia. So grateful for your channel on RUclips 🙏🏻 Love from Norway 🇳🇴 ❤
Wonderful! Great to hear it's a good workout for you Karin :)
Me too some days it’s hard to do anything. Glad this is helping you. I’ve just found this lovely lady. I’m going to do these exercises. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨
This is exactly what I needed! Please more of these on chronic pain.
So happy to hear that it's a good video for you Sandra :)
Youre the best at what you do. While its a bit embarrassing I am 34 and I benefit from your workouts. Even though my buddies think Im doing “old lady workouts”, I can live with my body feeling good and them being tough guys feeling like garbage.
Exactly! Feeling good is most important! I would hardly consider my workouts “old lady workouts”. You do you and be better for it 🤩🙌🏻
How did you know I needed this?? Lauren is always on point with our needs!❤
Thank you Cheryl 🤩
Exactly
I'm only 33 but have had chronic illness and pain my whole life. This was very helpful, as lots of these my physiotherapist already showed me, so it's nice to have some company while doing it now that I do them at home :) I struggle with motivation as I'm always in some pain, but it does help to mitigate some of it! Currently I can't do them all in one go, but hopefully eventually.
I wish you all the best. I'm glad this was helpful :)
Thanks for the stretches! I have a 60-lb pain in the neck - my dog, who’s recovering from surgery (she’s doing well) and escaping from her cone of shame (she’s driving me crazy). We walk once or twice a day, but your stretches do what our walks don’t. Wish me luck with the Neosporin. :P
Hilarious! Best of luck 🤣
I just started your workouts and I love your style. I am a 66 year old women with osteoporosis and I know that your workouts are going to be very helpful in my quest to build muscle and hopefully increase my bone strength. You will be my go to exercise videos ❤
Happy to hear that Doreen! I am thrilled to hear that you found me and you are being proactive regarding your health!
Thank you for the stretches for chronic pain. Your channel is becoming my one stop for movements that is keeping me strong and flexible as I mature. More blessings to you. 🙏🏽
Wonderful! So nice to hear Evelyn :)
I'll be 67 this spring and I'm borderline diabetic. About 20 lb overweight but working on it
Great job Vickie. Keep working out with me and you won't be borderline diabetic for long :)
I have cancer and several other physical problems and your videos really help me. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
You are most welcome Joseph. All my best to you :)
Day 65, with the rain came a Fibro attack so I finally got to do your pain relief video. Stretching feels so so good. I will do some of the chair exercises with my 92 year old Mum too, especially on days when I cannot go walking with her because of bad weather. Thank you. Lauren
You bet! I have many viewers that work out with their parents, I absolutely love that!!!
Rosie that’s so interesting my fibro attacks come on with change of weather too. I thought am I imaging this ? I’m holidaying in a different State, it’s warmer here, my pain had really improved, then the weather changed to rain and being cooler, this kicked my pain in. 🤷♀️
@@wendyhannan2454 Absolutely, Wendy. Whenever I was in a warm, dry climate the pain was much better.No attacks, in the morning I could get up better, move better. Rainy, cold dampness is so detrimental, but often there is no choice.
Thank you for this. 💙 It's been one of those days where I'd have done nothing if not for offerings such as this for pain and fatigue.
You're welcome. Happy to hear it's helpful :)
My husband has had a chest cold/flu & now I’m starting to feel poorly. Have not missed a workout day since starting 2023 & aiming for 365 days. This was just what I needed today. Just enough but not too much. Thankful for all the options you give. I also do p90x & am an avid hiker. Love your channel for the days when I feel like a senior. Thankfully most days I feel younger. 😂💪🤩💐happy spring
Happy Spring Elizabeth! I'm glad you liked this workout and I hope you are not feeling too bad! Maybe a gentle pilates or chair yoga if you are still not feel great tomorrow.
LOVE THAT VIDEO! I really appreciate the gentle pace and soft, relaxing music! Your tone of voice is soothing and your directions are clear. I am so glad I found your channel! In my 50's and been struggling with gradually increasing pain throughout my body for the last 7 years despite my best efforts at taking care of my health. Having a gentle yet effective exercise routine with no stressors is a huge thing! Thank you! Exercising without flaring up is really a challenge, so videos like these are much needed! Would continue along this line with more of these videos for chronic pain. Thank you for thinking of us!
My pleasure Lena! I'm so glad it's a good video for you :)
Thanks for this workout. Your calming instructions are perfect to follow.
You're so welcome! Glad you like it Sandra :)
I just went on a 15 day roadtrip to 3 states and did this video every day in my hotel room on my phone. Really helped with the driving...no aches and pains on the road
Great! Thanks for working out with me 🤩
This exercise help to ease my pains in the morning when I wake up . Thank you
Great to hear! You are most welcome :)
Oh MY Word where have you been all my life! I feel like I just had a full body massage!!!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!! I am LOVING all your videos!!!!!
Wonderful! So happy you found me :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness Not nearly as happy as I am!!!
Totally guided to this one! It has been quite the week! Thank you, Lauren for 'calling' me out ♥☯
You got this Susan :)
This was a great, gentle workout to do after I "overdid" on spring cleaning the prior day. The background music was so soothing. I did this workout in the morning to get stretched and loosened up for the day ahead. There was also a gentle rain this morning which made the entire workout AMAZING (calming music and the sound of the rain). Thank you for all of your videos. I'm NEVER bored with the variety you provide.
That sounds lovely Gail! You are most welcome as always and thanks for your kind words :)
Another good practice, just the right length, and the right intensity. Thanks and God bless you.
Glad you liked it! You are most welcome :)
This was just what I needed! Taking a day to be kind to my body and this was perfection! I thank God for you...❤
I'm so happy it was helpful to you Teresa :)
Thank you Lauren, it is a blessing to have your guidance and support.
For years I attended good gyms and I never had the experience of having a trainer of your class and professionalism. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to have your classes.
Blessings, good day
You are most welcome Mario! I'm grateful to have amazing viewers and supporter like you :)
I loved this for a session first thing in the morning. I also enjoy your 30 minute chair yoga session for that purpose. Workouts similar to those are just what my arthritic body needs to get moving. I enjoy the cardio and strength routines in the afternoon. I’m so glad I found you a couple of weeks ago!
Wonderful! I’m so glad you found me as well Gay 💜
Thank you!Relief for back pain and sciatica!
Glad it helped!
This felt great on my lower back where I sometimes experience sciatic pain. Thank you!
Glad it helped Darlene :)
Wow, Lauren, I see you now have over 100k subscribers. Congratulations and I am not surprised to see it. Your presentational style is exceptional and your workouts are professional and very well led for the audience. Thank you and I wish you much more success with your business. Martin
Thanks so much Martin, I appreciate that 💜
Oh my goodness! Such a great workout. Beautiful piano music too. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤩
I loved the stretches and the beautiful music. Thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! You are most welcome Coleen :)
Thank you....these stretches are exactly what I needed this morning.
Perfect! Thanks Sherry 🤩
LOVE this. THANK YOU! You are so soothing. Exactly what I need.
So glad! You are very welcome Cristina :)
Found you a few weeks ago while searching for some gentle workouts. I absolutely love your workouts. Thank you.
So glad you are enjoying my workouts! Happy to have you working out with me Sue :)
Lauren I haven’t commented or liked for a while, but I still do your workouts! This one is fantastic! Your workouts are the best I’ve found for me. I do some old favorites then try some new ones and find new favorites. I encourage friends and family to check your videos out. Thank you and keep it coming.
Thank you Pat, I appreciate that :)
Working out with Lauren makes forget all my aches and pains ❤❤❤
Thank you Ruth 🤩
I’m in my 30s and struggle with chronic pain and fatigue. Your videos are so super helpful. Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear my videos are helpful :)
I just want to thank you for all your videos. I am not a senior, however, I have several health problems that have made it difficult for me to work out the way I used to. I love the pace of your workouts and how you let us know where we should be feeling it. I have slight scoliosis and so some of the moves I just can't do, like keeping my heels together and lifting my legs.....oooh that is tough for me. But I love that you give alternative moves too. Please keep it up. I haven't done all your videos, but I'm making my way through many of them. Thanks again.
Thanks for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos. I'll keep making videos as long as you keep up the good work :)
I’ve been working out with you for the last few weeks. I tend to choose a workout based on how I feel in tne moment. You never dissapoint. At 73, I’m new to exercise and weight loss. You are making a big difference in my life. Thank you.
That is so nice of you to say Nancy! I'm so proud of you for getting started and I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Thank you for teaching great movements and stretches for pain relief! Just what i needed today. ❤
You're welcome, glad it is helpful :)
Thank you! That feels great!
Wonderful! You’re welcome Kathy 💜
Thank you very much ,be blessed.
My pleasure :)
Thank you 🙏🏽. This was wonderful for us with stiffness❤
Glad you enjoyed it! You are most welcome Nancy ;)
Oh, thank you Lauren, that was a "life saver", I am in the middle of a terrible flu, and that soothed so well my achy body and what a calming piano background. Please do more of these "live savers".🥰
You're so welcome! I hope you feel better soon ❤️🩹
Thanks for the stretches for the shoulder and upper back🙏🏽
You're welcome Evelyn :)
Hello Thankyou for these 2 videos. I started off with the chair only then added in this half standing . I'm improving very slowly. I'm 80 and have had a fully fused left hip since early. Childhood. It makes some movements impossible but I improvise. I've done yoga when younger but always with limitations. Now I'm 80 I'm relying on your chair yoga to keep walking. Yours is the best Thankyou
You are most welcome. I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and that are helpful to you. Keep up the good work :)
As a person with Multiple Sclerosis and fibromyalgia, I wish I had found your channel sooner. It has helped my pain and muscle spasms SO much. I can tell a difference if I don't at least do a stretch video every day now. Thank you so much ☺
You are so welcome Anna! I’m thrilled to hear that the videos have been helpful 🤩
Love all your videos. Thank you.
You are so welcome! 💜
Loved it Lauren, just what I need on days when my body is sore. Thank you.🥰
You're so welcome! Thanks Wendy 💜
Wonderful for fibromyalgia. Also am interested in more interval workouts with separate weights & separate cardio together in 1 workout. Thanks so much for your kindness in working with seniors. So appreciated ❤ Janice Guyer
Thank you Janice, so glad it's a good workout for you. Here is a link to my Tabata workout. I think it's what you are looking for. ruclips.net/video/0h7ywH5wy1E/видео.html
Thank you again. Love this ,great stretch for those of us that just get from day to day. You’re so soothing and the music isn’t over whelming. Just puts you in a better mind set and ready to go some more.
Love that! Thanks Nikki :)
Super marvelous!!!! Thank you. Have a great week!
Thank you! You too Margareta! 💜
Hi Lauren,
I just finished doing this workout. It is fantastic! It really relaxes my muscles and joints. I have RA and sometimes experience lower back pain. I will definitely use this workout as an (add on) to my exercise regime to help keep my joints and muscles strong. Thank you so much! Stay blessed and have a great weekend. 🥰🌻🌅
You're so welcome Carolyn! I'm thrilled you thought it was fantastic! It's a great workout for a rest/recovery day as well. I hope you have a great weekend too :)

Your encouragement and smiling face help!
Thanks again! ❤

I'm thrilled you love it!
It was amazing! Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad you think so :)
❤This is a beautiful routine - so gentle for extreme pain when you literally want to curl up in a ball. Nothing takes the pain away but this helps soften the edges. The music is stunning too. Thank you so much as always xxxx
Glad you liked it and that it helps your pain a bit Virginia :)
I needed this. Thank you ❤
No problem 😊 I"m happy it is helpful!
Love this video!
Happy to hear it Kathy :)
Loved that. I did a seated cardio first (I have back, knee and hip issues) and this was a lovely stretch and cool down after it. Had to push myself on a few hip stretches but feel much better for it. Thank you Lauren x
Wonderful! I’m thrilled you loved it Elaine 🤩
Thank you so much❤
You're welcome 😊
Exactly what I need for my lower back pain this morning, it feels amazing ❤️ thank you Lauren 🤗😘😍
Perfect! Thanks Ruth :)
I just stumbled onto your channel and did the strength training video. It was a great intro into your style. I'm 63 and have knee pain issue (from pickleball) that I'm working on so doing a modified version, but want to focus on strength training my upper body. I'll continue to do some of your other strength training videos. Thank you to you and your husband! Nice team work!
Thanks so much Gwen, I appreciate that ;)
Thank you I enjoy these type of exercises very much
Glad you like them, and you are very welcome :)
Thanks! My favourite workout so far. I like the slow steady pace, as well strengthens and stretching more please!
Thanks so much Jeanna! I'm glad it's a good workout for you. Have you done this one?: ruclips.net/video/czjAlf5A10w/видео.html
I haven’t but will thanks

Thanks! 😄
Thank You I loved it.
So glad! Thank you Martha :)
This made me feel great!!!!!! thankyou!!!!
Fantastic! You are very welcome :)
Thanks!
Thank you Sonya! Your support is much appreciated :)
I love the piano music you use for your workouts! You set a very relaxing mood with your music and background (and your smile!). I am a senior and have been doing P90X for many years. Lots of moves are the same, but arthritis in my hands and wrists makes it painful to do yoga and pushups the traditional way. You offer alternatives using the same muscles and not getting on the floor. Now I alternate between your videos and P90X. Sometimes I wish your videos were longer, but I've learned to combine routines to get my 45 minutes done. Thank you!
My pleasure! So glad you are enjoying my workouts, keep up the great work :)
I love this one! The stretches really help. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful Kathy :)
So so good! Thank you for everything you do! From the beauty of the background, to the music, to the thoughtful consideration of the exercise routine, once again thank you❣️
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that Sherisse 🤩
Thank you love your workouts. I tell friends about you often!
I appreciate that so much!
Love love love this!!!! And the music is perfect too 💕💕💕💕
Wonderful! Thank you so much Annmarie 😍

So glad Jill. I feel you, The heat makes me feel lethargic too!
Thank you so much Lauren this was Godgiven to me as I am post Covid and have been so fatigued I’ve not been able to exercise but I’m on the mend and looking forward to joining you again
You’re welcome Dianna! This will be a great one to start with when you are ready. Or maybe just do the seated section when you feel up for it. 💜
