The Back Pain Podcast 10 Years of Treating Lower Back Pain – How Our Practices Have Changed
Rob and Dave are both seeing patients every day in their clinics and in this episode they take a look at how things have changed over the last 10 years
They share the learning that has changed how they work with their patients and discuss the vital importance of movement and how evolving to work with patients as someone who is supporting that individual’s journey to recovery, not the hero clinician builds positive and productive relationships
Listen in to hear Rob and Dave reflect on how their practice has evolved and why it’s always important to stay on top of new developments if you want to be a great clinician
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It’s important to take a considered approach and look at emerging clinical research and trends. It's updating, evolving, and staying on top of it
- Worry and anxiety about your posture is only going to potentially exacerbate your back pain
- It’s not the specific exercises that make a difference it’s about keeping the movement going
- We start with the basics of good quality movement and then fine tune
- Some movement is important it doesn’t have to be a specific granular program
- Conversations in the clinic have changed from ‘I’m the therapist here to save you’
- The clinician is no longer the hero fixing you, the patient is now the hero with the clinic providing a helping hand
- It’s not about waiting for someone else to do it for you, it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and your recovery supported by the clinician
- You will have a much better long-term relationship if you are happy to give the praise away to the patient
- Having difficult conversations is a skill that needs to be developed
- Talking to patients about their fears is a crucial element in building a relationship and understanding the patient
