Chronic pain can severely impact participation in physical activity by limiting mobility and reducing motivation. Individuals experiencing ongoing pain often adopt sedentary behaviors to avoid discomfort, which can exacerbate health detriments over time. Fear of pain can also create a psychological barrier to engaging in regular exercise. However, moderate, tailored physical activity can help manage pain and improve function over time. Addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of chronic pain is vital for encouraging active participation and enhancing overall health outcomes.
