This body just ain’t what it used to be, y’all.

At 34 I’m still young, but you’d be surprised how much one can use their flesh and bones in that time! I’ve become a father, often carrying 70 lbs. of toddler weight between my two boys; I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2012, pushing my body to places I didn’t even know existed; and still have trouble from time to time with a rugby injury from my childhood. And while I deal with the odd pain now and then, I know there’re Canadians aplenty who need to deal with so much more.

“Long-lasting body pain may be more common as we get older, but it shouldn’t stop us from enjoying life and accomplishing all we want to. Research has found that a combination of treatment methods, including physiotherapy, massage therapy and medications, show good results when managing long-lasting pain.” – Dr. Jeff Habert, family physician, Thornhill, Ontario

Let’s face it—we’re not exactly in the physical prime of our species’ history. Sure, we’ve eradicated illnesses and have longer life expectancies than ever, but do we take care of these bodies as we age? Years of bad behaviour eventually catch up—even if we’re able-bodied, we’ll usually have future aches and pains whether we like it or not!

Which makes it fortunate that right along with these lifestyle changes come advances in medical science, including Advil 12 Hour®, a non-prescription pain reliever that keeps working for up to 12 hours.

Advil 12 Hour — Because Pain Shouldn’t Stop You From Staying ACTIVE.

If you’ve ever needed to deal with long-lasting body pain, you’re all too familiar with the challenges that go with it—including not being able to stay active and do everything you want to do. Advil 12 Hour® aims to help Canadians manage their body, joint and muscle pain, letting them stay active so they can enjoy the summer activities they love.

But even though ibuprofen—the active ingredient in all Advil products—has been clinically proven to relieve inflammatory pain, relieving pain is only the first step! If you want to make the most of your summer, check out these Advil 12 Hour “Keep Moving This Summer” tips to help you along!

Stay Active: Body pain may lead you to avoid physical activity. But low-impact activities like walking, stretching or light exercises can actually help manage pain and even increase strength and flexibility.
