When movement is painful: what are your options?
1 in 5 Canadians experience persistent pain. If you or a loved one live with persistent pain, you have likely heard that remaining active and engaging in exercise are important to your overall health and management of symptoms.
If you’ve asked yourself any or all the following questions, this webinar may be of benefit to you:
- How much pain is okay during exercise or activity?
- What can I do beyond avoiding activities that increase my pain?
- If pain is not a good guide for when to stop or modify activity, what do I do?
Join us for a free online discussion with Lifemark clinicians, including registered physiotherapists Neil Pearson, Tanya Nichol and Daniel Godinho, and kinesiologist, Logan Miller. They will explain different approaches to managing pain and what you can do if you are living with persistent pain.
You will learn:
- An approach to reducing pain through gentle and intentional movement
- The importance of using body, mind, breath, and pain as guides to determine how much movement is okay when pain persists
- About resources to help manage persistent pain
- When to seek help
