Some mornings, you wake up and your body just doesn’t want to cooperate. Your shoulders feel stiff, your hips ache, and your joints remind you that fibromyalgia is still very much a part of your life.
You sip your tea, wrap yourself in a blanket, and wonder how you’ll get through the day without feeling drained before it’s even started.
That’s where gentle stretches can help. Not the kind that push or exhaust you—but the slow, mindful movements that ease stiffness, wake up sore muscles, and give your body a little relief.
Pair them with cozy rituals like a warm drink, a soft blanket, or a few quiet moments just for yourself, and suddenly mornings start to feel… possible again.
Mornings like these can feel more common in the fall. Cooler temperatures can make muscles tighten, and shorter days often mean less movement, both of which can increase stiffness and fatigue.
Even small changes in your routine—like the busyness of back-to-school schedules or the shift from outdoor summer activities—can trigger flare-ups.
That’s why giving your body a little extra attention this season is so important. A few intentional minutes of gentle stretches, combined with cozy rituals, can help ease stiffness, wake up sore muscles, and support your mobility—so you can feel more in control, even when fibromyalgia tries to slow you down.
These gentle stretches focus on areas that often hurt most with fibromyalgia: neck, shoulders, back, hips, and wrists. Even a few minutes a day can make mornings more comfortable.
Slowly roll your shoulders forward and back, then gently tilt your head side to side. Loosens tension in upper body and eases tender points.
Sit tall, twist your torso gently to one side, hold, then switch. Helps relieve mid-back stiffness as temperatures drop.

On hands and knees, alternate arching your back up and dipping it down. Improves spinal flexibility and reduces back tension.

Rotate hips gently or cross one ankle over the opposite knee. Releases hip tension and eases stiffness.

Rotate wrists, flex and spread fingers, or gently squeeze a soft ball. Supports daily tasks and reduces hand discomfort.
Stretch in a warm room or layer up with cozy clothing.
Use pillows, blankets, or yoga props for extra support.
Pair stretches with warm tea or a short walk to increase comfort.
Keep routines short—5–10 minutes is enough for daily relief.
