Strength Training
Tense and weak muscles are often linked to chronic pain. Weight or resistance exercises help build muscle strength and may help reduce suffering. Experts say that strength or light weight training is just as effective as pain drugs do for back pain and arthritis. Building muscle strength also improves your flexibility and balance.
There’s another benefit to strength training exercises. Stress contributes to pain and
discomfort, and exercise, along with sleep and rest are some of the healthy activities that can help relieve stress.
