19.01.2022 Knowledge is power! We are firm believers that the more you understand something the more ability you have to take control of it! Make sure you leave a consultation with a good understanding of what is going on, ask as many questions as possible! Most injuries result from some sort of movement, so it might seem odd that movement or exercise is the number one treatment for most musculoskeletal problems. The key is getting the dose right, all those questions and testing help t...o work out that dose, so that movement and exercise is nourishing and helpful. The best exercise is something that you enjoy, be sure to let your health professional know your preferences when it comes to exercise. Part 5/6

17.01.2022 We think if we took a survey of the general public, most people would rank manual therapy (massage, mobilisations etc) and surgery as the top treatments for most aches and pains. The great news is that exercise has better outcomes! If your current treatment is mostly manual therapy, consider changing things up. If you're considering surgery, make sure you have given an exercise intervention a go before going under the knife! Part 6/6

06.01.2022 Dave Moen's understanding of pain - https://mailchi.mp/c0ab6ff/dave-moens-understanding-of-pain

06.01.2022 Chronic pain is incredibly common, but chronic injury is not. That would be like having a cut that never heals, which is incredibly uncommon! Unfortunately we do not have a common and well-understood model for explaining ongoing pain, and so most people who have ongoing pain feel like they have a long term injury. This means that they avoid load, and we know that load is one of the most important determinants of recovery. Avoidance becomes a kind of positive feedback loop. It... can be a strong contributor to chronic pain. Its the same with movement patterns, too. There are whole schools of thought built on the idea that if you move incorrectly then the particular model can help you to move better. In almost all cases these models have no greater effect than general exercise programs, meaning that the outcome is unlikely to be due to moving differently. The unfortunate consequence of these programs is that they make people feel like there is something wrong with how they move, and this can over-complicate recovery. Our team put forward these two ideas: 1) injuries heal, and 2) the way you move is almost certainly fine. At our practice, we communicate the best pain science to help people feel safe and confident to move normally. We then give people strategies to develop their capacity by moving more. Nothing complex, just a kind of radical simplicity! During these strange times with COVID-19 we are offering Telehealth. Telehealth physio delivers our whole clinic to your pocket via a smartphone. Luckily Telehealth physio is something that we have done a lot of, having completed a clinical trial of our model late last year. So if you are stuck at home then using this time to conquer your pain is a worthy challenge. To learn more, watch our education animation at Tame the Beast. Contact the team on 0434 294 209. Go to our Telehealth page. And make a start
