Home methods for managing back and joint pain

Effective home methods for managing back pain, knee fatigue, and joint stiffness include applying warm compresses and maintaining gentle movement. Using warm compresses for 15–20 minutes can help relax muscles, increase local blood circulation, and reduce stiffness. However, heat should be avoided if joints are swollen, red, or experiencing intense pain following an injury.

To prevent joints from becoming stiffer due to inactivity, it is recommended to engage in light physical activities such as slow walking, stretching, or Tai Chi, provided health conditions allow. Maintaining muscle strength and joint flexibility through regular, gentle movement can help break the cycle of pain and inactivity.
