Is it better for chronic pain to start exercising and stop, or to not do any exercise at all?
Activity is good. When starting a functional rehab program, remember to start slow and increase activity incrementally. You want to reward activity with rest, not with pain. Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program, and check out www.Restrainyourpain.Com for more information about pain management.
