Join Ben for part 3 of this short podcast series into back pain!

This episode deals with the objective portion of working with back pain.

Here is a little breakdown of the contents....

Testing is as much for the patient as the clinician

Special tests are not that special and still subjective

Movement matters but is not diagnostic

Here is another short episode from Ben looking at working with back pain.

This episode focuses on the subjective assessment.

What to listen out for?

Key questions to ask?

In this 10 minute episode, Ben explores the most important part of any session working with back pain, the person suffering from it and interfacing with them!

It's easy to get caught up in whats the tissue or driver of the problem and want to listen out for the symptoms or get on with the testing.

But in a modern BPS approach, it might be how comfortable you make some one feel that gets you the good stuff!

In this episode, Ben is joined by tendon expert & professor at Monash university in Melbourne, Peter Malliaras!

Peter & Ben discuss:

Why tendons, whats Pete's journey!

Exercise for tendons, how does it actually work?

The role of the organism in tendon health and rehab

Pete's approach to tendon rehab, utilising a parallel approach

The push back on Pete's research into shockwave therapy

Enjoy!!!

Join Ben as he talks about the complexity of pain!

An analogy Ben uses is "making the forest dry" to understand some of the contributors we have to pain arising and how we can make this understandable for our patients

Ben discusses three contributors to causation, risk factors, initiating actions and also maintaining factors. All 3 contribute to our patients current state although mostly initiating events are looked at!
