In this episode hear about the region Beta paradox -the phenomenon that people can sometimes recover more quickly from a major incident and intensive pain than from mild pain or a less distressing experience Rob also discusses the importance of explaining to your healthcare professional why you have made an appointment and what you want to get back to doing to ensure the treatment plan is successful KEY TAKEAWAYS People often mistakenly think it will take longer to recover from a major incident or intensive pain than when they have a mild pain or mild distressing experience We often only take action when the pain reaches a particular threshold When something isn’t too bad we may choose to ignore it When it’s awful we will do something about it taking action that makes it better faster As a patient it’s important to tell your practitioner why you have booked in now and what you want to get back to doing Explaining ‘why’ helps to inform the direction of the treatment plan It's more than just making the pain better its getting you back to the activities you want to do BEST MOMENTS ‘You may get stuck in region Beta where the less worse thing lasts longer than the worse thing’ ‘If we don’t know what you want to get back to, we might not fully prepare you for the demands of it’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
