It’s understandable that patients with chronic pain fear worsening their pain by moving, but what most people don’t realize is that maintaining mobility is essential if function is to be preserved for the present and the future. Body parts that go unmoved for any length of time eventually become “frozen.” This can happen with the back, the abdomen, the joints (e.g., knees and shoulders), etc. Furthermore, with decreased movement, circulation decreases, scar tissue eventually forms, and pain increases.
