Once chronic pain sets in, it becomes a vicious cycle. Pain —> Muscle Tension —> Stiffness —> Swelling —> Inactivity —> Weakness —> Decreased Function —> Toxic Thinking —> More Pain. In order to break the chronic pain cycle, the cycle must be interrupted. Interrupting it in just one place usually is not enough. It needs to be interrupted in several places to be most effective.⠀ .⠀ Click on bio to read the post: The Chronic Pain Cycle & How to Break It (Top Tips From an Occupational Therapist)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #achronicvoice #spoonie #spoonielife #spoonies #spoonieproblems #invisibleillness #Backpain #mentalhealthwarrior #chronicillness #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicpainsucks #chronicallyill #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicfatigue #disability #selfcare #wellbeing #chronicpaincycle #paincycle #inflammation #autoimunedisorder #autoimmune #viciouscycle #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #healthandwellness #healthyliving #sedentary https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Yw7jHAlcM/?igshid=1o52r27fbtigq

"Trigger points (muscle knots) are hard, sensitive areas in the muscles that remain tight and contracted even when the muscle is at rest. Common causes of trigger points include overuse, muscle injury, poor posture, and a sedentary lifestyle. Stress, anxiety, dehydration, and unhealthy eating habits also contribute to muscle tension."⠀ .⠀ Click on link in bio to read: The Chronic Pain Cycle & How to Break It (Top Tips From an Occupational Therapist)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #triggerpoints #backpain #stress #anxietymanagement #muscleinjury #injuries #unhealthy #healthyliving #healthandwellness #body #homeandlifestyle #muscleaches #jointpains #dehydration #healthyeating #chronicpaincycle #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #muscletension #achronicvoice #spoonie #spoonielife #spoonies #spoonieproblems #chronicillness #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicpainsucks #chronicallyill #disability https://www.instagram.com/p/B7asqU4gsUo/?igshid=1qs5bid1bnm5s
