One standout feature is the ready-to-use daily plan. It breaks down manageable steps: tracking symptoms, pacing activities, and building support with family and healthcare teams. Picture starting your morning with targeted stretches that ease stiffness, or ending the day with relaxation techniques that improve sleep. Over time, these build momentum, helping you tackle work, hobbies, or time with loved ones without the constant dread of pain.
