At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, we're committed to helping you understand your body better. Here are 3 common misconceptions about pain management:

1๏ธโƒฃ ๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต: Rest is always best for pain.

๐—ง๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต: While rest is important, prolonged inactivity can actually worsen some types of pain and lead to muscle weakness. Guided, gentle movement is often crucial for recovery.

2๏ธโƒฃ ๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต: Pain always means there's damage.

๐—ง๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต: Pain is complex and doesn't always indicate tissue damage. Sometimes, our nervous system becomes oversensitive, causing pain even without injury.

3๏ธโƒฃ ๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต: Medication is the only way to manage chronic pain.

๐—ง๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต: While medication can be helpful, a multidisciplinary approach including physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle changes is often more effective for long-term pain management.

Understanding these truths can be a game-changer in your pain management journey. At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, we're here to guide you through personalized, evidence-based treatments that address the root cause of your pain.
