Abstract

The relationship between pain and exercise is multifaceted, with exercise being recognized as both a potential alleviator and aggravator of pain. This article explores the benefits of exercise in pain management, highlighting its role in endorphin release, improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced psychological well-being. However, the risks associated with exercise, such as the exacerbation of pain and exercise-induced discomfort, are also discussed. Emphasizing the importance of personalized exercise programs and professional guidance, this article concludes that with careful planning and consideration, exercise can serve as a valuable tool in the management of chronic pain, contributing to overall improved quality of life.
