Pain and Motivation in the Journey to Recovery - a podcast by Rob Beaven & Dave Elliott
from 2022-03-31T23:00
Dave explains why it’s important that your recovery is not just measured by an improvement in your pain levels but also by progress in the function and movement you want to achieve from being able to run a marathon through to being able to pick up your child
Pain maybe the tipping point that led to you seeking intervention but your ‘why’ the motivation and goals you have are crucial in your journey to recovery and the function and movement that matters to you
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Understanding the motivation of the patient and their goals for health and movement is vital
- Everyone wants to get out of their pain
- Pain is a major motivator – no one wants to be in pain and its often the first thing that’s mentioned
- What function and movement do you want to have when you are pain-free?
- Pain is easily measured and quantified as you progress but shouldn’t be the only measure
- Pain and recovery are not linear so if pain is the only measure seeing progress clearly can be challenging
- Pain may remain in the background and is very subjective. It’s felt differently depending on many variables
- Let your clinician know your goals and the activities you want to return to
- Function goals can be hugely positive in the journey of recovery
- Additional data about what you want to do means your rehabilitation plan can be very specific
BEST MOMENTS
‘A real and personal goal can be the motivator you need’
‘Pain can be the tipping point ‘
