Story at-a-glance
- Exercise stops your immune system from overreacting after a muscle injury, helping prevent short-term pain from becoming chronic
- Daily physical activity, even as simple as swimming or walking, switches off inflammatory signals that keep pain going
- Your brain’s pain control system is retrained through consistent movement, reducing sensitivity, and interrupting the chronic pain cycle
- Studies show that even low-intensity exercise improves function and quality of life for people with arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain conditions
- Movement is one of the safest and most effective ways to calm pain, improve resilience, and restore your body’s natural ability to heal
