Why is exercise important in pain management?

  • Exercise is a highly effective way to reverse the downward cycle of deconditioning and worsening both chronic and acute pain.
  • Exercising appropriately will generally relieve pain as well as promote recovery.
  • Exercise over time will help those individuals suffering a form of chronic pain engage more in activities of daily living with greater ease and assist them in maintaining a happier and healthier lifestyle.

What can Active EP do for you?

  • At Active EP, our highly qualified Exercise Physiologists can analyse your movement patterns to determine areas of weakness, dysfunction and triggers of pain.
  • Based on the results of the assessment, we can then develop a highly specific and appropriate program, to meet the needs of your individual body assisting you to reach your goals in a way that you find comfortable and enjoyable.
  • Your program is likely to be focused on a gradual development of strength for specific areas, to ensure the appropriate muscles are engaging and movements can be made pain free during exercise as well as daily life.
