Five Tips to Follow
The first one is Magnet Therapy.
This may consist of Bracelets, knee braces, or mattress pads, all containing a healing magnets. Magnets are a great way to heal and regenerate tissues of the body, by increasing circulation and bring oxygen rich blood to the injured or recovering tissues.

However it is important to stretch for 15 minutes every day to feel your best.
