10 Years of Treating Lower Back Pain – How Our Practices Have Changed
Rob and Dave are both seeing patients every day in their clinics and in this episode they take a look at how things have changed over the last 10 years They share the learning that has changed how they work with their patients and discuss the vital importance of movement and how evolving to work with patients as someone who is supporting that individual’s journey to recovery, not the hero clinician builds positive and productive relationships Listen in to hear Rob and Dave reflect on how their practice has evolved and why it’s always important to stay on top of new developments if you want to be a great clinician KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s important to take a considered approach and look at emerging clinical research and trends. It's updating, evolving, and staying on top of it Worry and anxiety about your posture is only going to potentially exacerbate your back pain It’s not the specific exercises that make a difference it’s about keeping the movement going We start with the basics of good quality movement and then fine tune Some movement is important it doesn’t have to be a specific granular program Conversations in the clinic have changed from ‘I’m the therapist here to save you’ The clinician is no longer the hero fixing you, the patient is now the hero with the clinic providing a helping hand It’s not about waiting for someone else to do it for you, it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and your recovery supported by the clinician You will have a much better long-term relationship if you are happy to give the praise away to the patient Having difficult conversations is a skill that needs to be developed Talking to patients about their fears is a crucial element in building a relationship and understanding the patient BEST MOMENTS ‘We can’t be blinkered we need to be looking for the newest research and turning points in the science ‘When they are as knowledgeable as possible that’s when the magic happens’ ‘I understand now the power of better movement and communication’ RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/what-is-cauda-equina-syndrome-rob-tyer/id1511515312?i=1000506119396 https://www.cpdo.net/Lederman_The_fall_of_the_postural-structural-biomechanical_model.pdf THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
