Get active and beat pain barrier

Chronic pain can be alleviated through increased activity, say scientists at the University of Perth in Australia and the University Hospital at Strasbourg in France.

People who suffer chronic pain can achieve a feeling of control over their lives through active physiotherapy, which can reverse damage to the central nervous system.

The scientists say in Physiopraxis magazine that regular exercise and activities tailored to the patient improve not only the body's general condition, but also improve posture and minimize pain and other impediments to everyday movement.
