Chronic pain is a bleep, and any movement exacerbates it. But stretching is a must unless you want to creak like a rusty door. So little things, like these handy Evoke Yoga Knee Pads Influenster sent me to try free in exchange for my honest opinion, help.
Let's face it, I am not going to pretend to be a fitness guru. I try to keep moving, because I keep trying to work on my health so that one day moving won't hurt as much, taking a walk won't require days of planning and I might be able to take up the sports I played and enjoyed when I was younger. Doing what we can IS good enough.
The Evoke pads are very helpful. They make movement easier when I am doing anything that requires kneeling and also for resting my elbows. There's an indentation or cup in the middle, so you don't slip off, and they provide support without feeling too hard.
They have some grip on them. I use them on carpet, but I don't think they would slip on hardwood or tile. Directly on grass might not be the best thing.
I wouldn't have thought to look to yoga accessories for my exercise needs, but it makes sense!
