Is returning to activity important in persistent pain? ABSOLUTELY!
Being able to regain independent function and return to enjoyable activities is not only important for your quality of life but it is also very important to help in your recovery from pain.

Pain often stops these activities in their tracks. It can make it difficult to start them again or challenging to complete them.
