Gentle movement means choosing activity within your current abilities and any clinical restrictions. The label does not identify a single technique or guarantee that movement is appropriate for an unexplained symptom or injury.
A worked situation: Short comfortable walk
Fictional example. A reader without new symptoms chooses a short comfortable walk instead of a strenuous session. Someone with a recent operation needs their own instructions; the same gentle label cannot settle that decision.
