The #EFICOnTheMove (OTM) campaign was launched by former EFIC President Bart Morlion to promote physical activity as a preventive and therapeutic tool against chronic pain.

Physical activity’s well-known health benefits include a reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and improved mental health. What is less well-known is that greater levels of physical activity and exercise are also associated with a lower risk of developing chronic pain. Chronic pain is defined as pain on a daily basis for 12 weeks. It is a significant health issue affecting between 12-30% Europeans.

As this is an ongoing and long-term issue, we want to introduce new On The Move projects and activities in the future. We are excited to announce that a new working group led by Henrik Bjarke Vægter has been appointed and a new set of goals and objectives have been decided.
