New evidence shows what we’ve seen in practice: consistent, moderate aerobic movement — about 150 minutes a week — can lower long-term cortisol and help your body recover from chronic stress. Think steady walks, gentle cardio, and two short strength sessions a week.

If you’re managing pain, rebuilding after injury, or navigating chronic stress, a personalized plan that blends medical exercise with therapeutic massage and recovery strategies can make movement safe and effective.
