Many people (10% of the population) suffer from chronic widespread pain and in this episode, Rob and Dave share the best takeaways and nuggets of advice from previous interviews that they themselves use regularly. Where there is pain there is inflamed tissue that is reacting and changing and you should be looking to find what is the best healing process for you. This a great opportunity to hear the best takeaways from a range of great professionals who have been guests on the podcast and shared great practical advice. KEY TAKEAWAYS When there is pain in the back this is inflamed tissue that is reacting and changing in the same way as other tissues in your body. Even when the source of the irritation has been removed the tissue will continue to be inflamed and will take some time to settle down and reset. Work on stability and mobility to create the strongest back possible. You need to strengthen and work on movement in a controlled environment. It’s part of being human having to pick things up and you can practice a movement to develop strength. We rest, de-load then build movement back up again. Movement is key and a positive mindset will make a difference. Muscles need movement and bones and discs need loads. If something doesn’t work it just means you need a different approach and a different professional. Patients who are proactive in their recovery always recover better than those who are not. Thinking about the positives, what can you do now that you couldn’t last week? The small wins mean you are moving in a positive direction. BEST MOMENTS ‘Calm sh#t down, build sh#t back up again’ ‘There can be a mental disconnect between the back and the rest of the body’ ‘Damaged, angry, hyper-sensitised tissue will produce pain even if the stimulus is not very much’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
