Need advice for low-impact strength training with joint issues (28F, 5'4", 130 lbs)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance on getting back in shape while working around some joint problems. I'm a 28-year-old woman, 5'4", 130 lbs, dealing with: • Tendonitis in both elbows • Mild carpal tunnel syndrome • Plantar fasciitis I used to do a lot of yoga and pilates, but now even downward dog and planks hurt my arms. I can't afford physical therapy right now, so I'm trying to figure this out on my own. I've lost a lot of strength and flexibility and I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I'd really appreciate advice on: • Bodyweight or isometric exercises that don't stress the elbows/wrists • Core and lower body moves that are safe with plantar fasciitis • How to build a balanced routine with these limitations Is it possible to still make progress and gain strength with modified exercises? Any tips would be so helpful - I'm motivated to get healthier, I just need a safe starting point. Thanks in advance!
