Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Chronic Pain

Chronic pain isn't always about getting older it’s often the result of years of poor posture, uneven movement, and small habits that add up over time. Things like sitting too much, lifting the wrong way, or only training certain muscles can gradually lead to discomfort.

Taking steps to improve posture, build strength evenly, and move better can make a big difference. With a few simple changes, it’s possible to ease pain and feel better day to day.
