Pain Science Physical Therapy lead physical therapist Dr. Orit Hickman teaches graded exposure to painful activities to become less discomforting through practiced habit. You start by doing enough of the painful activity, before it becomes too painful to tolerate, for a few days, and then gradually increase the amount of time you do this action for the next few days and keep increasing as your tolerance allows.
