Why ‘Rest’ is the Worst Advice for Chronic Pain.
After seeing 11,176 visits of Chronic Pain Cases, I Learned That "Rest" Could Make Chronic Pain Worse. Here's Why!
Most People Unintentionally Practice Unstructed Rest. Such As Lying on a couch, eating potato chips, binge-watching Netflix all day, bare minimum of physical activities possible. Which can Lead to
-Muscle atrophy and weakness
-Increased stiffness and decreased mobility
-Reinforcing pain pathways in the brain (central sensitization)
-Psychological impact: Fear-avoidance behavior, feelings of helplessness
The answer isn't endless hours on the couch. It's about strategically retraining your body and nervous system through targeted movements and exercises that address the root cause of your pain. (Not The Generic Physical Therapy Exercises) That's why we encourage a unique approach to break the pain cycle.
