Exercise Should Not Lead to Lasting Body Pain
Here are the top three reasons why people are not getting enough exercise: (1) There is not enough time; (2) A lack of stick-to-it-ness; and (3) Exercise hurts and causes body pain. Actually, a little stiffness and soreness is both expected and healthy after exercise. When the muscles are placed under stress, the bones under a load, and the lungs into high gear, the body is strengthening itself. Inflammation comes as part of the healing response, protecting the area and sending signals to the brain that healing (repair) needs to be done.

How Stress Derails the Healing Response
Despite high-tech surgeries and low-tech massage, weekly handfuls of pain killers and structured physical therapy routines, people are still suffering in body pain. The answer may well be found within the mind itself, and the hold it has over our thoughts, emotions and our physical bodies. When the mind (psycho) and the body (soma) interact in adverse ways the result can be body pain, inflammation and muscle spasms (among a host of other symptoms). This is called psychosomatic illness. Stress is one of the main culprits that prolongs the mind/body pain cycle.

Activities in Daily Living Your Doctor Needs to Know About
People generally describe their body pain and health conce s in terms that they think the healthcare provider in front of them wants to hear. However, because of this many important things that can and do affect their health in the course of their activities in daily living (ADL), are omitted from the dialogue.

Hot or Cold Treatment for Body Pain: Which is Better?
Is it better to apply ice or heat to an injury? Well, you must first determine whether the body pain you are experiencing is caused by inflammation or constriction (spasm). Once this is determined, follow these 3 rules: 1. If an injury is acute (caused by new trauma), it is best to apply cold within the first 5 minutes to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. Ice packs, ice cubes, a frozen bag of peas or cold gels can be applied. On for 20 minutes, off for 20 minutes, then continue as necessary. 2. When swelling is down and the pain cycle is broken, stop the cold and apply heat.
