How can pain be prevented?

Pain is an unpleasant physical sensation. It can be mild, moderate or severe. It is a natural defence mechanism that helps us avoid further harm by alerting us to a problem or injury. Chronic or persistent pain can have a negative impact on quality of life.

Preventing physical pain involves taking care of your body and choosing a healthy lifestyle. For example, regular physical activity can strengthen muscles and reduce the risk of injury. Conversely, it is best to avoid postures or movements that place excessive strain on muscles and joints.

Anyone who works in a standing position or plays a demanding sport knows the importance of foot care. The feet carry our weight and are under a lot of stress; they absorb much of the shock every step of the way. So we’re all susceptible to foot pain at some point.

Preventing ankle pain

The ankle plays an important role in supporting the body. It connects the foot to the leg. It consists of bones, tendons and ligaments that can be fragile under certain conditions. There are ways to protect and strengthen the ankle during physical activity or everyday activities.

Preventing leg pain

The most important muscles in the human body are in the legs. They bear the weight of the body and are largely responsible for its mobility. That said, they are not immune to fatigue, pain or even injury.
