Foam Rollers, Kinesio Tape and Acute VS Chronic

Rob and Dave are looking at some of the most frequently asked questions from the communities they work with and in this episode share great content in answer to a question on the difference between chronic and acute They also discuss what Kinesio tape and foam rolling actually do and what part of the routine where  Kinesio tape and foam rollers  are used is really important, listen in and hear the answers   KEY TAKEAWAYS Acute and chronic are used to refer to the time frame, the amount of time you have had the pain Chronic refers to pain for over 3 months anything under that is described as acute The skill of any practitioner is going from medical language to patient language Part of our journey as healthcare practitioners is understanding the impact of the language we use Tape changes the sensation from a painful area to a non-painful one giving your brain something else to focus on There are lots of claims about what foam rollers can do but they are in reality a way to self-massage The action of getting up and moving to complete physical actions is what’s important Warming up is a vital part of the exercise you are Walking increases blood flow far more than rolling around on a Victorian torture device   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s elasticated tape at the end of the day, it doesn’t do anything magical ‘I will warm up for the session doing squats, I won’t spend twenty minutes flapping around on a foam roller and getting into weird positions’ ‘Never do anything that actively causes pain’   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.
