05.01.2022 "Pink Batman, I know. But why not, it's Valentine's Day. Here are a few examples of why we should not base our pain management decisions or advice only on scans (if taken). We should always consider the whole situation. Treat the person, not the scan." Great post, made by @kristianEkstrom on Twitter. Your treatment should never be decided purely based on scans. Scans have been shown in the scientific evidence to have poor predictive and prognostic value for pain and disabili...ty. If you have pain or are concerned about scan findings, give a physios a call today! We can help guide your rehab and talk you through a variety of treatment options based on your individual presentation.

05.01.2022 It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's house. Inside the house was Eeyore. "Hello Eeyore," said Pooh. ... "Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a glum sounding voice. "We just thought we'd check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay." Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all. Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time with someone who is sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all, would you now." Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house. Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?" "We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling sad, or alone, or not much fun to be around at all. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are." "Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better. Because Pooh and Piglet were there. No more; no less. - AA Milne

03.01.2022 Why do we get pain? PAIN IS PROTECTIVE! At its core, pain is designed to protect you from a situation your nervous system doesnt like. It is designed to make you take action, to change something that your system has decided is unhelpful or dangerous to you as a person Sometimes this is important. For example, if you break your ankle, pain is there to stop you doing further damage and to encourage you to seek help and optimize healing.... Sometimes pain is inappropriate. This happens when our pain system malfunctions. For example, pain that has been there for a long time, after an injury has healed. This is known as Chronic Pain and may have many factors tied into it. 100% of the time, pain is modulated by biological, psychological and social factors. The combination of these things create the overall pain effect that you feel with all injuries or pain disorders. The extent to which each one is influencing your pain will change between contexts, and situations. Regardless of the main driver for your pain, your pain is very real and giving you a message.
