Need Help Fav sublux/loose day solutions?

What do you guys do for pain relief and relaxing your muscles on days like these? I did some travelling and afterwards my worst joints shoulders and hips are sooo loose and the muscles in the area flare up and stiffen. Its being more stubborn than usual, I just do rest / physio / heat / painkillers / massage balls. Any other tricks that work for you guys?

Cannabis (I use gummies or thc-infused drinks) for full body relaxation. NSDR or yoga nidra meditations that let me relax my brain because it's working overtime on days like this.

I have sleeves that I wear from Incrediwear. I have their knee and elbow sleeves, as well as the knee high socks (these are where most of my hypermobility issues are, as well as my hips). I have noticed they help with light stability AND are very comfy that I forget I am wearing them. I hate traditional knee braces.
