Coping with Pain (Self Care)
We all use various means of dealing with pain. Some types of pain will gradually go away with rest and aspirin, and in some cases, mild exercise. Other types of pain require intervention in the form of medical treatment or therapy.
There are various kinds of self-treatment methods for coping with pain, including:
- Exercise
- Massage therapy
- Ice therapy
- Heat therapy
- Water therapy (such as a gentle hydro massage)
