    BackgroundSufficient physical activity and exercise shows a variety of health-promoting positive effects. In the context of pain therapy, promotion of physical activity could be an important contribution to primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic pain.ObjectivesThe aim is to investigate the relationship between physical activity and chronic pain, the preventive effect of physical activity on pain and the factors to successfully promote physical activity in people with chronic pain.MethodsFor this narrative review databases of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (via PubMed) and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) were searched for reviews and studies with the keywords chronic pain, physical activity, movement, exercise and prevention.ResultsA total of 10 reviews, 10 clinical studies and 4 surveys were included and summarized.ConclusionAlthough the evidence base on this topic is still insufficient, positive effects of physical activity on the prevention of chronic pain could be demonstrated. Interventions for people with chronic pain that sustainably increase physical activity should take into account individual resources, address barriers such as maladaptive beliefs, and create positive movement experiences.
