Rob and Dave continue their discussion around what they talk most about with patients on a daily basis.
In this episode, they bust the myths and misconceptions about whether your back is fragile and weak and look at the narrative around ‘putting your back out’
They share great information and content in a way that is easy to understand and explain how they work with their clients towards successful recovery building strength, resilience and adaptability
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your back isn’t fragile, the back is one of the strongest parts of the body
Pain back can be some of the worst pain experienced so people become fearful of hurting their backs
Our backs put up with a huge amount of stress on a daily basis
The type of stress we put our backs through is a good thing
The stress we place on our bodies is how we grow and get stronger, our muscles and joints require stress and work to grow
Your back will become weak if you don’t use it at all because you won’t be exposing it to anything new
Exposure to load is a really important part of recovery
Breaking down a movement that is a trigger for back pain into small parts is part of effective recovery
You gradually expose the spine and body combining the movements and adding load and as a result, get stronger
Your back and body are inherently strong and adaptable if you put gradual and increasing stress on them
False beliefs and misconceptions can mean that people become afraid of doing certain movements because they think it will put their back out
Clinicians and therapists  should be helping clients to improve their resilience and helping them to achieve improvement

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘We are strong, resilient and adaptable and put up with stresses very well on a day to day basis’
‘The stress and work we go through is what helps our backs to recover from injury’
‘It’s become a common narrative in our culture to see the back as being weak’
