[Relief of pain by exercise! Increased physical activity can be a part of the therapeutic program in both acute and chronic pain]
2001
Physical activity can relieve acute as well as chronic pain and has therefore an important role in the treatment of pain, directly or indirectly (by reducing anxiety and lifting depression). Physical inactivity is associated with higher morbidity/mortality and is as detrimental to people with chronic pain as it is to others. When including physical activity in pain treatment programmes it is important to tailor the exercise to suit the individual patient.
