Live well,
despite chronic pain

Changing the way we think about and manage pain

Break the Cycle - Pace Yourself!

3/4/2021

 
Picture
People with chronic pain often do too much when they’re having good days and not enough when they’re having bad days.

Pace activity by setting time limits, slowing down (start low, go slow), breaking up tasks, and taking frequent short breaks – gradually increasing what you can do to build endurance. ​
