Pain Myth Busted: Rest is Not Your Secret Weapon

Ever been told to just “sleep it off” when you’re in pain? While resting might seem like a good idea, too much downtime can actually make chronic pain worse. That’s because your body was designed to move, and staying too still can cause stiffness and increase discomfort.

Movement-based care, on the other hand, keeps your joints flexible and your muscles strong. It’s about finding the right balance between rest and activity to keep your body functioning at its best.

The key to managing chronic pain isn’t avoiding movement—it’s embracing it in the right way. We can help you develop a plan that keeps you active without overdoing it, so you can stay on the move and leave pain behind.
