Wally, Deborah, we do well to emphasise the exercise as i don't see anything else touch general stiffness except for fasting which is no long-term solution...
A mate gets chronic migraines
(which lasted up to six weeks!!!!!) so i coaxed him into looking at starch and glucose index and stuff - not because i knew anything about diet and migraine, but to get him to get out there to study it and take control. He eventually found out cheese (which he loves to bits) was a pre-cursor and that certain exercises gave him the same general malaise that heralded a migraine attack....
So he practices hard at those exercises until they give no such feeling, then moves onto a different muscle. Real success story as he is now TOTALLY in touch with his body and aware of what is happening to it/with it.....
Stress in the neck and shoulders was a huge factor for stiffness which only unfamiliar exercises could alleviate. A lot of these were based around isometrics and becoming bi-laterally equalized.
