If you have back or joint 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.

“A great experience. I injured my shoulder several years ago and could not improve on my own. It was painful and interfered with sleep and doing activities. P.T. combined with laser treatment improved my situation right away. After 6 or 8 sessions, my shoulder is basically pain free with full range of motion. I highly recommend!” - J.A. Success Spotlight
