Looking forward to speaking at the Barry Nilsson Health Forum tonight. It will be attended by key stakeholders in the provision of care for people with chronic pain, inparticular Low Back.

Low Back pain is one of the leading causes of chronic pain and disability in Australia and globally.

My messages will be clear:

Pain is a Functional condition - treating it with Structural Interventions will ultimately fail.

Our Rehabilition Industry needs to be more accountable for treatment outcomes.

Effectively cure back pain symptoms by treating Functional root causation.

The end result - Empty waiting rooms for spine surgeons and pain physicians.

Treating medical specialists should be more actively involved in the physical rehabilitation delivered to their patients suffering from Low Back Pain.

If you're simply advised "do more physio" then ask what does that mean, what are the therapeutic goals, what time frame is expected and what are the recognised objective outcomes?

Currently back pain is a leading cause of disability in Australia. The back pain therapeutic industry is failing. It's failing because these questions are not being meaningfully answered.

NeuroHAB is also the Guideline Peri-Op Rehabilitation Protocol for Multifidus Muscle Functional Neurostimulation Implantation Surgery and minimises the risk of post operative Adjacent Segment Symptoms after fusion, recurrent disc herniation and Post Discectomy Functional Instability related back Pain.

Failed Back Pain Rehabilitation Syndrome is poorly recognised and poorly described. It's the elephant in the room problem driving the epidemic of Low Back Pain and further complex, expensive and high risk secondary and tertiary care.

What advice are they getting from the worlds "best Therapist's" and what does it say about the industry wide advice given to Mr Joe Blogs Average?

Worth a watch tonight to see how badly misguided the Pain Industry is and its mis-understanding of the real drivers of disabling misery.

Of course pain symptoms need to be addressed.

More importantly though, the functional cause for pain needs to be simultaneously resolved. Successful management will only occur with a "two punch" approach.

The Pain Therapy Industry is failing because it only follows a "one punch" symptom based approach.

The ABC piece will misrepresent the real problem and confuse patients even more and make out that clinicians treating pain are corrupt. They're not. They're just naive, ignorant and need re-educating on Functional Causation.

Symptom based management with the least invasive strategies in and of themselves are valid but in isolation they are all futile, regardless of whether it's a warm wheat pack, panadol or a spinal cord stimulator or a highly invasive spinal fusion.

The critics and mainstream media platforms (ABC, Sydney Morning Herald, various self appointed expert authors on the topic) also need to ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS that focus on Causation. Relentlessly persecuting symptom based therapy is unhelpful and infact harmful and cruel to those experiencing pain. No where is this more relevant than in musculo-skeletal spine related pain.

The only way the Pain Therapy Industry is going to emerge from this repetitive and justified criticism is to re-educate themselves on Movement Theory and how it Causes Pain and Disability.

Embracing Relative Intensity is just as important in athletes as it is in patients with chronic back pain.

The skilful Functional Movement Therapist knows how to utilise Relative Intensity in even the most damaged patient, as the potent stimulus required for HEALING.

Without it you may as well be resting on the couch...which is almost the current Industry Standard (with the ridiculous Physio-App and some stick figure exercise drawings to go home with 🤣...no wonder people never cure their Movement Dysfunction 🙄)
