The term inflammation comes up a lot in both our blog and across the health and wellness industry. It’s easy to get the impression that inflammation is innately negative, and something to be feared.

But chronic inflammation, where the body regularly experiences prolonged or localised inflammation, can cause serious and even debilitating pain.

The world doesn’t make it easy to stay active. Many of us these days find ourselves tethered to a desk, sitting down on our commutes or just too busy to find some time to stretch exercise and get our bodies moving again.
