Remedy for Chronic Muscular Discomfort

Pull your right leg back to stand with your legs apart and your heels aligned. Turn your right foot out at a 45-degree angle and point your left foot forward. Bend your right arm backward, keeping the wrist well flexed. Stretch your left arm in front of you, closing your hand into a fist with the forefinger pointing upward. Focus your sight on your forefinger (A).

As you breathe out, turn your right foot to align it with the left one, and bend your left leg and flex the right one (B).

Breathing in, stretch out your right arm to align it with the left one, in the same position. Now focus on both forefingers (C).

Holding your breath, maintain this position for 3 seconds.

As you breathe out, return slowly to the starting position.

Perform the exercise 3 to 5 times. Then practice the exercise on the other side.
