Rethinking Pain

Keeping Active & Safe Movement

In the past, advice about persistent pain was to rest more and be less active. Modern thinking around pain suggests keeping moving can play a large part in reducing muscle and joint pain, as well as providing many other health benefits.

If you live with pain, it’s natural to be hesitant when thinking about moving more, especially if exercise has felt painful in the past or if you’re worried about doing more damage – but if you gradually become more active, using safe movements, it is unlikely you’ll cause any damage or harm.

Together, we will discuss how regular movement can help with reducing joint and muscle pain, weight management, improving sleep quality, boosting energy levels, reducing feelings of depression, stress and anxiety, increasing mobility and stability and improving your ability to do everyday activities.
