♨️ With the warmer weather settling in, you may notice your pain or fatigue feels a little more pronounced. Heat can place extra demand on the body, and for some people this can make pain symptoms more noticeable.

If you’re planning to stay active this summer, gentle pacing can make a meaningful difference. Try one of these heat-safe activities to keep yourself moving through summer without suffering heat stress.

Small, consistent steps often support better comfort - and better outcomes - than pushing through all at once! 🙌

Living with chronic pain doesn’t mean giving up on movement. In fact, gentle, paced exercise may help reduce pain over time and rebuild strength.

Start slow, go steady 💪

Key things to remember include:

✅ taking a systematic approach to exercise
✅ understanding that a little discomfort is okay if it eases soon after - pain doesn't always mean damage!
✅ listening to your body.

With the right approach, exercise can help manage chronic pain, improve strength, and restore confidence.

If you need assistance on your exercise journey, seek guidance from a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist trained in pain management.

Low-intensity exercise is an excellent starting point for those wanting to get back to moving while dealing with chronic pain.

When living with chronic pain, people may avoid physical activity due to fear of increased pain. However, this may lead to a vicious cycle where your muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and overall fitness decreases - physical deconditioning, conversely, may result in more pain.

Swipe to see 7 different low-impact exercises you can consider when dealing with chronic pain:

Please note these are general activities and you should consult a healthcare professional or physiotherapist for tailored exercise recommendations.

Is the saying "no pain, no gain" really true? It is really necessary to experience pain during exercise in order to reap benefits?

The truth is that discomfort during exercise varies depending on a few factors.

Though exercise often involves pushing your body past its comfort zone, the resulting muscle soreness and fatigue should usually happen during or after exercise and subside within a few hours or days.

Discomfort during exercise is normal and can include:
✔️Mild soreness 24-72 hours post-exercise
✔️Discomfort during effort (eg. burning in muscles, shortness of breath, increased heart rate)
✔️Feeling challenged, not injured

What's NOT normal can include:
⚠️Pain that lingers or worsens
⚠️Joint pain, stabbing sensations, or swelling
⚠️Pain that alters or affects your movement or posture

This pain during exercise shouldn't be ignored or brushed off as a natural result of physical activity - it may be a sign of underlying injury, improper form or overexertion.

"No pain, no gain" may sound tough, but knowing when to rest, adapt and recover isn't being weak - it's being wise.

How do you tell the difference between 'good' pain and 'bad' pain?

Good pain helps your body adapt and heal. Bad pain may make you feel stuck.

When pain lasts longer than it should, it can be confusing and stressful. Understanding the difference between ‘good pain’ and ‘bad pain’ can help you make more confident choices about your care. 💪

If you need help figuring out what your pain means and how to manage it, MSK offer a range of services tailored to support you - from physical therapy to minimally invasive techniques that aim to provide relief.

BVNA Treatment ✨
Struggling with long-term low back pain?

Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (BVNA) is a form of treatment that targets nerve pain from worn-out discs. A heated needle targets and disables a nerve inside the spine to reduce back pain for up to 2 years.

✔️ Minimally invasive
✔️ Improvement in back pain usually noticeable within 4-6 weeks
✔️ Low risks and no need for major surgery

Aftercare is simple: rest for a few days, then gradually return to activity. No stitches, no hospital stay. Just a path back to movement. 💪🛌
