Aerobic exercise involves using large muscle groups in a rhythmic, continuous manner to increase heart rate and promote blood circulation. Engaging in regular aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular health and can also prevent or reduce chronic pain.

Meditation has been practiced in various forms for thousands of years. The purpose of meditation is to promote inner calm, peace, and balance in both the mind and body. Practicing regular meditation may help decrease stress levels, reduce blood pressure, and ease the perception of pain.
