How to settle symptoms and make progress when pain is a barrier to recovery

I worked with a patient recently who saw a health professional about his pain and was advised to go to the gym. It made everything worse, a lot worse!
Now usually I’m a big fan of gym rehab but when someone’s pain is severe and irritable we often need to help settle it first before hitting the weights. This can be hard though and pain can form a significant barrier to progress.
With this in mind I recorded a video for you to help those patients that you see that might be a bit stuck in this position. In our video below I discuss:
Screening for serious pathology
Analgesia
Discussing pain and prognosis
How to modify aggravating factors
’Self-soothing’ techniques for patients
Massage and other treatment options
Plus how to progress when pain isn’t settling
