Question by beenthere: If someone has chronic pain and stiffness in muscles, are there gentle exercises that they can do?
I have stiffness and chrnoic pain in my muscles bodywide: my upper body in particular (my neck and sholders). I have had a major car accident and have never really fully recovered as it has been several years now. I want to know if there are some gentle exercises to get back into shape. I cannot do most yoga poses as I also have carpal tunnel and cannot support my body weight in my wrists. Thanks for any help.

I would suggest water aerobics or swimming as your best bet for keeping yourself moving, and trying to get back into things. You could also try physical therapy which would be a good start for exercises that you could do that would be good, and not too painful.
