How to Overcome Pain and Heal From Injury | Ep. 2

In this episode of the podcast, I explain the treatment model I use when treating patients. Understanding this model, will help you manage pain issues or injuries that you might be dealing with now or encounter in the future.
This three phased model is covered in detail in each of the 30 rehab program in my self-guided rehab book and involves the following phases:
1. Reduce Pain & Sensitivity - interventions include soft tissue mobilizations (massage and myofascial release techniques, gentle mobility exercises, nerve glides and isometric contractions).
2. Address Impairments - In this phase of rehab, we focus on correcting any impairments that migh be present. These might include reduced mobility/range of motion, diminished motor control and/or limited strength.
3. Rebuild Capacity - This last phase revolves around making the musculoskeletal system more resilient via resistance or strength training. Resistance training improves the strength and durability of many tissues, including muscles, tendons and bones.
I hope this episode was helpful to you! Having a treatment plan like the one I outlined here can reduce anxiety and fear that are often associated with pain issues and injuries.

I haven't gotten to using weights or resistance bands yet, but i very faithfully do my exercises and stretches. It has greatly improved my ROM and I'm more toned. That has kept me going.

[@RehabScience]

That’s great to hear! I’m glad your range of motion has improved. Once you can add the resistance training, you will really be able to round out your program.

Do you have any videos on thoracic pain which goes to ribs?

I’m having IT Band issues cause really bad knee pain how do I fix this because my dr isn’t offering much solution

[@RehabScience]

The exercises in my video below typically help get rid of IT band syndrome related pain.

My book has a much more comprehensive IT band syndrome rehab program that guides you through three phases of healing. Here is an Amazon link for my book, if you want to learn more about it.

Too bad my employer and manager didn't understand that texting at 4:19am was interrupting my sleep for healing and then arguing with me over setting a boundary for that!

[@RehabScience]

Ugh, sorry to hear that. Sleep is so important for healing and regeneration.
