Clare joins Rob and Dave and discusses her own journey of treatment and learning around sciatica

This is a journey that many will resonant with and Clare shares some key points that altered her thinking, impacted positively on her recovery and have led to success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My stoic attitude helped because it was a routine but battling through and just putting up with the pain was detrimental
- I’ve been the one who has made all the discoveries because nobody told me anything
- If you are changing how you think about things you are changing the neural pathways
- You have to have an open mind and consider everything
- I discovered my body didn’t move in the way it should do, years of pain had led to overcompensation and I was stuck in a vicious cycle of pain
- Exercise and movement are two of the most important things for pain
- My brain said to certain areas of my body don’t move because it will hurt creating internal fear avoidance
- I’m now tricking my brain to make myself believe I’m well and healthy and to calm my central nervous system
- We are all unique and individual and this is the same with the pain we experience
- Engaging people around you and helping them to understand will help you
- Everything matters when it comes to pain because of how it impacts
- People can get well; it is possible to recover but people need to understand that their pain is their responsibility
