KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Communication is a critical element and Jared Hall talked about being able to talk to people using the right analogies to help them understand on their level
- All of our job is about communication and being able to explain things in a way that’s easily understood is vital
- Nick Metcalf, talked about moderation of activity based on stressors in the previous days.
- You can effectively use modulation in your everyday life and adapt to take into account changes
- Julia Gover talked about pain, why things hurt and how pain is related to threat and shared a great analogy about snakes, sticks and how the brain processes pain
- The brain uses past experiences and can both increase and dampen experiences of pain but pain doesn’t mean you have to stop and do nothing
- Tom Jesson, physio, and sciatica expert explained how nerves can take time to heal and become less irritated. Recovery is not a linear journey, think about your recovery on a week to week basis
- Frequent guest Adam Dobson talked in detail about the value of MRIs when they are used in conjunction with your medical history and consultation
- The skill with MRIs is the correct reporting and clear explanation to the patient
- Learning a better language to explain back pain can make a significant impact on the patient
- Donald Robertson discussed the ways your mindset plays a pivotal role in pain and how you perceive and manage it
