Is there a good support community/resource for fitness as a treatment for chronic pain?
Is there a good support community/resource for fitness as a treatment for chronic pain?I have been semi-sedentary all my life without much problem until the last 3 years or so where I've been a full time office worker. I'm experiencing gradually worsening pain in my knees, IT bands, lower back, and sciatica/piriformis syndrome-esque symptoms. I've been to two different PTs and have a list of stretching, light strengthening exercises, and massage/foam rolling. I have a hard time sticking to a routine, because 10+ hours of the day are dedicated to sitting in the office or commuting. At this point I'm fearful of strenuous lifts (squats) and high-impact cardio because I can't conclude what is truly safe, nor can I afford to injure myself worse than I already feel. It would be nice to have a network of folks who are in the same boat. submitted by /u/JuJuJuli [link] [comments]
