Exercise Advice
Do I need to exercise?
The short is answer is yes! Exercise doesn't need to be something you avoid. The best exercise is one you enjoy doing and will continue to do in the future. Below are a few of the key benefits.
​
Exercise can lead to exercise induced hypoalgesia which means a reduction in pain for you. It can lead to an increase of pain tolerance during and after exercise. This pain modulation occurs by complex interactions with the brainstem and natural opioids which are released.
​
Exercise helps you to take control of any pain you may be struggling with, instead of the pain controlling you! This can have dramatic improvements for your mental health and your outlook on life.
​
And finally, exercise can help target specific areas of concern, but globally it also improves your cardiovascular health, bone health and increases your chance of a happier, healthier life.
