KEY TAKEAWAYS

Communication is a critical element and Jared Hall talked about being able to talk to people using the right analogies to help them understand on their level
All of our job is about communication and being able to explain things in a way that’s easily understood is vital
Nick Metcalf, talked about moderation of activity based on stressors in the previous days. 
You can effectively use modulation in your everyday life and adapt to take into account changes
Julia Gover talked about pain, why things hurt and how pain is related to threat and  shared a great analogy about snakes, sticks and how the brain processes pain
The brain uses past experiences and can both increase and dampen experiences of pain but pain doesn’t mean you have to stop and do nothing
Tom Jesson, physio, and sciatica expert explained how nerves can take time to heal  and become less irritated. Recovery is not a linear journey, think about your recovery on a week to week basis
Frequent guest Adam Dobson talked in detail about the value of MRIs when they are used in conjunction with your medical history and consultation
The skill with MRIs is the correct reporting and clear explanation to the patient
Learning a better language to explain back pain can make a significant impact on the patient
Donald Robertson discussed the ways your mindset plays a pivotal role in pain and how you perceive and manage it

BEST MOMENTS
‘This podcast over the last two years has probably changed my practice more so than anything else I’ve done in the last ten years’
‘Little things add up and a sudden change or spike in load can be a trigger for pain or injury
‘It's recognising the cumulative load and understanding the factors that are impacting’
 ‘At the end of a consultation, a recap can be really helpful for the client’
