I would like to try an experiment starting with our forum. I believe that by stretching we will alleviate stress which is often one thing that triggers our being sick. I also think that for those of us who get constipation it will make things more regular and also for people who get D that it could possibly help regulate them as well.
I'm going to in future posts add a list of stretches from that I believe will benefit us. I remember when I was stretching a half hour a day I was healthiest. I don't yet have scientific evidence or theories behind how stretching could benefit those with Crohn's but the least it will do is make you limber if you try. It could also help many with joint problems by allowing fluid to move in the joints rather than staying static.
In the next few posts over the next few days I will be adding stretching routines and my own diary of how things are going. I am a Crohn's patient who often gets constipation so I'm hoping this will benefit me.
