There was a time when people with chronic pain were told to avoid physical activity for fear it might damage their joints and muscles and worsen their discomfort. Those days are over. Exercise actually can help reduce your pain and improve your health.
Many people have continuing pain without a specific diagnosis.
These conditions may be managed by a variety of treatment regimens. But one thing these people have in common is that the pain caused by these conditions can be mitigated by regular exercise. A common misconception is that exercise increases pain. And for many years, rest was considered the best treatment for the pain due to various chronic conditions. But the exact opposite is found to be true in our research.
