Movement, Exercise and Function
|
Regular, gradual movement is one of the most helpful things you can do for chronic pain. The key is starting at a comfortable level, building up slowly, and having a plan for flare-ups rather than stopping all activity. Recommended videos and resources Pain and Physical Activity What you’ll learn: Why regular movement matters in chronic pain, how to start gradually and set realistic goals, and how to pace yourself and manage flare-ups instead of stopping activity whenever pain increases. These resources are provided for general patient education and are not a substitute for an individual medical assessment or treatment plan. Persistent pain can have many causes, and the most appropriate management depends on the individual. If you have new, severe or changing symptoms, discuss them with your doctor or treating health professional.
