title: Use of exercise in the management of non-malignant chronic pain.
abstract: Many studies have shown that, when incorporated into a chronic pain management programme, exercise can be very beneficial for people with chronic non-malignant pain. The pain programme will use cognitive behavioural strategies with the aims of improving fitness, counteracting unhelpful beliefs and improving stress levels.
