Exercise programmes of less than 120 minutes a week were also found to provide benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lead researcher Ben Singh said exercise can stimulate the release of chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin, which may reduce the intensity of pain and increase pain tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers said exercise may also help by reducing inflammation, changing the brain\u2019s response to pain and improving mood. The benefits were observed across several types of pain, including back pain, headaches, musculoskeletal and nerve pain, arthritis and some cancer-related pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The researchers stressed that exercise should not automatically replace medical treatment. For people with severe or chronic pain, the appropriate type and intensity of physical activity should depend on their individual condition and medical advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bareen Media &#8211; A major Australian study has found that even short, low-intensity exercise may help reduce acute and chronic pain, challenging the idea that longer and harder workouts are needed for pain relief.
