What might be holding you back from physical tolerance to movement?
Living with pain is exhausting... what if there was something you can do about it.
Here are 6 yellow flags we should talk about when living chronic pain.
Failed treatment whether that is physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, reki, injections, or any other naturopathic care. Somethings clearly missing, what is it? it's a concept called PNE+ and I plan to spend the next 6 months and thousands of dollars to better help and serve those who are willing to trust me with their health.
Family concerns: whether it be abuse, neglect, stress associated to lack of acknowledgement or feeling overwhelmed... this is a deep topic that is often overlooked. I'm not claiming to be a psychologist, but a professional provider of education and physical care.
Fear and anxiety: Have you ever avoided movement, activities, or desired experiences due to limitations of pain. Are you turning down opportunities that make life more worth living and enjoying out of fear of pain or "re-injuring" yourself? This one is all too common with us living with chronic pain. In fact this was a pivotal experience myself going from bodybuilding and power lifting to a goal of maintaining health optimally.
Ongoing pain: When we live in pain it can affect multiple things. Irritability, lack of sleep, lack of social interaction, lack of movement and activity. Unfortunately those things only led to increase pain, stress, irritability, etc.
Job issues: When we cannot perform the work we do or the work we love it can effect our identity, our way of making a livable wage which in turn spirals into other complications and issues already expressed in this message. We also are less inclined to show up as our best to work. Being passed over for opportunity, pay raises, promotions, etc.
Different explanations: One person says one thing while another person says something contradicting. It's exausting and confusing. The sad reality is multiple providers do not interact across scopes of work. So your MD, Physical therapist, Massage therapist, or Chiropractor are not very likely to cross communicate care and looking at things from their perspective opposed to possibly your perspective.
If you're looking for the nuance in how you can take back your life and live the life you're eager to get back to... be sure to follow, share and favorite my content so it's not missed!
