GET MOVING IN MARCH 7 Activities to Help Alleviate Pain
If you have chronic pain, there are probably some times when all you want to do is lie in bed all day. It’s tempting, but it might make the problem worse. Doctors used to prescribe bed rest for back pain and other chronic pain conditions, but studies have found that people who exercise and stay flexible manage their pain much better than those who don’t. If you do have a chronic pain condition like back pain or hip, knee, or shoulder problems, you shouldn’t begin an exercise program without guidance. Check with your physical therapist first. They have the expertise to help you develop an individualized exercise program. Have a professional; a physical therapist show
you what is appropriate to do given your condition. Here are 7 activities you should do to alleviate pain: 1. Walking 2. Swimming 3. Yoga

I had the worst shoulder pain and was not able to move my full arm. Pittman has changed my life forever! I am now able to move my arm feeling without much pain at all. This is my second time here and everyone here knows how to take care of me. At first it was my right knee, and now it is my left shoulder. Because of the care and professionalism, I would not go anywhere else. Actually, I have spoken to folks who were in need help with their pain and highly recommended PT at Pittman. Thank you all for helping me feel so much better!
