Understanding Pain

There has been a huge amount of research in recent times into understanding pain and this has led to great progress into changing our beliefs about pain and therefore changing our techniques in managing and treating pain.

For example, did you know there is no good link between posture and pain? For the large majority of injuries complete rest is NOT recommended? Tendon injuries largely don’t have inflammatory cells (therefore anti-inflammatories don’t work!). And that the largest percentage of abnormal findings found on scans, such as disc bulges, are most often normal changes which do not cause symptoms!

Another really important point to know is that simply by understanding pain a little better and changing some incorrect beliefs about your pain, you can significantly reduce your pain and improve your quality of life! So let the learning begin!
Below is a selection of resources, videos, websites and content to help you better understand up to date information on pain and assisting you on your road to recovery.
