Session 2. Retraining the pain systems. Start here…
Key themes today:
- ‘Bioplasticity’ refers to the body’s ability to change. This ability to change often makes pain become more persistent or worse over time. However a common saying in this field is “Bioplasticity got you into this mess. Bioplasticity can get you out again.”
- MANY different things can make our pain go up or down, these things are not always obvious. These can be both physical and non-physical. We begin to explore these factors in more detail today.
What other key information do we want you to take away from today?
- Think about your pain and what’s contributing. Are there contributors that need to be addressed that perhaps haven’t been?
- Fears, concerns or worries will always be a factor (large or small) in pain. Discuss these concerns with the right person – many myths exist that feed certain worries. Unfortunately, many are perpetuated by health professionals. Examples of common myths:
- ‘Correct Posture’ – Myth!
- ‘Always Tighten the Core’ – Myth!
- Scan findings will always explain your pain. – Myth!
- ‘Slipped’ discs, and spines ‘out of place’. – Myth!
Upcoming sessions will continue to explore different contributors to pain, and give practical examples of how to tackle many of these issues.
