Kelli's Best Tip for Staying Active with Chronic Pain - New Video Article
Kelly shares her insights on a new lower body and core Pilates workout, emphasizing its role in her battle against chronic pain. Not just a form of exercise, this routine represents a lifeline for those longing for movement without pain.
For individuals experiencing chronic pain, identifying a personal exercise threshold is vital. This threshold is the level of activity one can perform without exacerbating their pain. This approach requires being attentive not only during exercise but also in the days following it.
Remaining below this threshold doesn’t mean stagnation in progress. In the realm of fitness, gradual adjustments over time allow for increases in intensity and duration, thus building tolerance and capacity for movement.
Kelly encourages finding activities, as simple as walking a mile or as basic as standing up from the couch, that don’t trigger or increase symptoms. Every small action counts when done consistently. The body learns to associate exercise with safety and non-threatening responses through such gentle engagements.
“Meet yourself just exactly where you’re at.”
With chronic pain management, it's about resilience and acknowledging small victories as indicators of progress.
For those living with ongoing pain and striving to stay active, Kelly provides a heartfelt reminder: stay compassionate and neutral in self-talk. Recognizing an individual’s determination to keep moving despite discomfort is vital. Support comes in the form of respecting one’s limits and using the body’s feedback to tailor workouts.
You are seen, appreciated, and every effort counts. Exercise is a tool for teaching your body to understand it is safe. It’s a practice intertwined with caution and optimism, suited for anyone battling chronic discomfort.
