How Can I Be Confident My Back Pain Won’t Keep Coming Back
I know how frustrating it can be.
When your back has been good for so long, you’ve been feeling good, feeling like you can do what you want,
And then you wake up sore and stiff and with the dreaded feeling of, ‘oh oh, I’m not sure if I can get out of bed’.
I’ve heard this type of story many times from people coming to the clinic,
And it is usually accompanied by not been able to work for a week or two, and been stuck to the bed or the couch.
It’s not much fun at all.
But is there a solution or a way of preventing things like this from happening?
Surely, if you are moving and have no pain then you 100%, right?
Well, if you have had back trouble before then unfortunately the answer is no.
Pain is not a good guideline of what shape you are in or how much you are able to do and a lot of people fall into this mistake.
‘Sure, I feel grand now, the pain has settled’, except it doesn’t mean the problem is fully gone..
Why does back pain like this come back at you with a vengeance.
How come you may feel great after a physio, chiropractor or massage treatment,
But then the following week the pain returns and you feel like you are back to square one?……
…Often when it seems like you haven’t done anything to aggravate it?
The answer can lie in something called the 80:20 principle .
This was a principle from Pareto who stated that 80% of your results come from 20% of your actions.
It works surprisingly well with most things, and I regularly follow it when helping patients in my clinic.
I use it by focusing ??% ?? my ????????? ?? addressing ??? ????? ?? ??? ??????? ??? ??% ?? my ????, ?? ??? ????????.
The reason for this is because more often than not, ongoing back pain is not an issue been caused by the back,
It is due to something elsewhere in your body not doing it’s job effectively,
