There are also a lot of different Somatic practices such as the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method. These and others have personally helped me use my body in more efficient and less painful manners. Another way is to take up martial arts and learn to take more control over your body, especially in the pain control area. However, that could also be a bad thing when you've broken several bones and continue training without realizing the extent of your injuries.
Well, they're very "facially-centered." Kinda like a constant sore throat, chronic cough, completely clogged nose, tooth pain, headaches, difficulty breathing, etc. I try to keep physically active, but because of my chronic cough, I tend to stay away from cardio (although I know I shouldn't). I had never heard of the Alexander Technique or the Feldenkrais Method, but I'll be sure to look them up now that I have.

Anyway, just want to thank you all again for your suggestions. Keep 'em coming!
