Ever wonder why chronic pain is so prevalent today? That's because motion tends to block pain impulses to the brain. Consider this, there's a pecking order of pain tolerance when it comes to athletes... putting hockey players at the highest pain threshold, and baseball players at the lowest, and football players somewhere in the middle.
Today, chronic pain affects 50% of adult Americans - many of whom sit in front of a computer all day, then sit for lunch, commute close to an hour each way to work, or airline travel is a big part of their work week. No wonder chronic pain is a big issue these days.. and your level of daily-continuous-sustained activity could be the answer. Short bursts of activity have less effect on chronic pain than do longer lasting activities. A hockey match has 60- minutes of near continuous activity, whereas in a single inning in baseball... there could be a lot of standing around.
Even though you're "busy" at work... there's a lot of sitting around.
