Muscles and joints can become sore and irritated for many reasons including stress, over working the muscles, or an injury. These gentle stretches should help relieve sore muscles and joints.
A common place to get sore muscles is in the shoulder and neck area. An upper trap stretch is a great way to relax muscles in the neck and shoulder.
Next is a chest stretch. Often these muscles become sore due to bad posture. Then stretch the muscles on the opposite side in the mid to upper back area with a rhomboid stretch.
Now for some stretches lying down. A trunk rotation stretch is a great way to relax tight and sore back muscles in the low back and along the sides. After that, an active assisted (AA) hamstring stretch is a great way to relax the back and the hip joint. Then a knee to chest stretch will help relax the back, the hips, and the knees.
Finally, some diaphragmatic breathing is a great way to relax the whole body by helping calm down the nervous system.
This seated stretching routine for seniors focuses on simple stretches that can help loosen up the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and knees.

Tension headaches can cause a lot of pain. Stress is a common cause of tension headaches. Relaxing the muscles around the neck and shoulder area can help decrease the pain caused by tension headaches.
