Get comfortable. Slowly rotate your foot at the ankle twenty times in either direction. If you like, move it in one direction; pause for ten seconds; then rotate it in the opposite direction.
Do this with each ankle, one at a time, pausing for ten seconds in between each set of rotations.
Then do the same for each knee; for your hips; for each wrist; for each elbow; and for each shoulder. Pause for ten seconds after each set of rotations.
Sometimes trauma energy can get stuck in the joints. These rotations help to release that energy.
