What does pain with movement mean? Many think it's a warning that harm is being done and a signal to stop. This week, clinician-researchers Professor Peter O’Sullivan and Kevin Wernli are joined by Megan who has a lived experience with chronic low back pain that resulted in 3 spinal surgeries.
Take homes:
- Megan's reframing of pain as danger meaning stop, to pain as being okay to move was important.
- Learning modern pain science (especially that the brain produces pain) helped her move forward.
- Having a trusted coach to hold her hand was imperative.
- Ergonomic advice such as 'keep your back straight', 'brace your core' and 'sit up straight' wasn't helpful nor is it evidence-based.
