2. Physical Activity
Physical fitness is so much more than a healthy regimen. Any activity that gets your blood pumping releases pain-relieving endorphins into your body. It can be extremely difficult to exercise when you’re in pain. For many, the solution is to select exercises that are tolerable with the help of a health professional such as a physical therapist. Physical therapist, as well as chiropractors can provide exercise options and variations that are adaptable to your needs and physical status.
Identifying a form or forms of physical activity that you feel comfortable performing, can help to strengthen your body and mind, hence promoting pain relief.
Swimming is one of the more popular forms of exercise. It is an excellent low impact activity. The water supports the body, relieving stress on all joints in the body.
It’s especially important to pay special attention to your physical activity and movement at work. Posture plays a huge role in pain relief and spine health. Hunching forward causes pain; compresses your lungs and puts extra stress on your neck and back. To ease neck and back strain, it’s important to take breaks. Movement is essential. Here are some tips for avoiding and alleviating back pain at work. Commuting posture should also be taken in consideration. Studies show the longer you spend traveling- on the the road-the more wear and tear you put on your back and neck.
