5 Ways To Naturally Relieve Pain
2
Keep Moving, Stay Healthy
Exercising is great for your body, that is no
secret. Exercising daily is associated with
reduced arthritis joint pain because it
significantly strengthens your muscles and
joints. Exercising releases endorphins in the
brain that is known to relieve pain. It is not
necessary to indulge in high intensity workouts.
You can pick your exercise regime based on your
fitness level or simply incorporate walking into
your routine. Walking does to your body what even
the best pain relief gel cannot do.

Stretch It Out
Our bodies are designed to keep moving and if you
stop moving because you are in pain, this can
make your pain worse. Muscles and joints get
rusty and this causes newer pains to develop.
Stretching can help your body stay lubricated and
mobile and significantly reduce pain or keep pain
at bay. There are different types and variations
of stretching that can be personalized according
to your unique problem and your physical
therapist can help you chalk a plan out.

Rest, Sleep, Heal, Repeat
Getting an adequate amount of sleep each night
can significantly reduce pain and improve your
ability to bear it too. Resting your body heals
it, and so getting a good eight hour rest every
night lets your body do its job the best way it
knows how. Try to chalk out a timetable that
allows you to rest up and relax without
disturbances or stress.

Heat It Up/Cool It Down
Applying heat to aching muscles or joints can
significantly reduce pain by increasing blood
flow and loosening up stiffness. You can use a
hot water bottle gel filled pad or an electric
heating pad. A hot bath can do the trick too. A
cold compress can reduce inflammation in muscles
and joints and slows down nerve impulses that
ease the pain. You can use a cool pack gel pack
or even raw ice upon a towel. Remember to use
heat or cold depending upon your problem. They
target different issues
Massage The Pain Away
Massages are amazing, we can all agree. But how
do they reduce pain? Firstly, massages can loosen
up stiff muscles which help you ease the pain
that comes with spasms/stiffness. Secondly,
massages improve blood flow to your muscles.
Blood circulation is ideal for pain relief.
Thirdly, massages can be calming and therapeutic.
It can help you escape the pain for a little
while and soothe the mind to help you think
clearly.
