Independent practice has limits
Self care may help you notice tension and create a gentle routine.
It should not mean copying intensive techniques seen without context.
Guidance should fit the person
A safe exercise considers the skin, current wellbeing and possible contraindications.
Pain or a worrying symptom is a reason to stop and seek appropriate advice.
How to keep home practice gentle
Choose one brief movement or a quiet moment of touch and notice the response without increasing force.
If guidance stops feeling comfortable, pause and discuss it with the person who recommended it.
