Exercise & Pain Relief
If you have back or joint pain, there are probably some times when all you want 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 show you what is appropriate to do given your condition. In general, if you are having pain in the low back you should avoid impact activities such as running, jumping or any aggressive twisting motions. Some exercises that are usually safe, as long as the back feels better as you go and not worse:
1. Walking 2. Cycling at a low resistance 3. Gentle aerobics in the water or on dry land
4. Gentle yoga 5. Swimming 6. Tai Chi
