Strengthening exercises
To stabilize your joint and prevent future injuries, you need to build strength. If you’re living with chronic pain, adequate core strength is great because it helps maintain proper posture and reduces the risk of injuries. Working the muscles of the abdomen, hips, and back can help improve core strength and stability.
Stretching exercises
If you have chronic pain in your low back or neck, stretching can relieve tension and stiffness. Stretching is an important part of fitness: it can improve your range of motion, increase circulation, and calm your mind—which may help fend off injuries and illness.
