Rob and Dave are looking at some of the most frequently asked questions from the communities they work with and in this episode share great content in answer to a question on the difference between chronic and acute
They also discuss what Kinesio tape and foam rolling actually do and what part of the routine where  Kinesio tape and foam rollers  are used is really important, listen in and hear the answers
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Acute and chronic are used to refer to the time frame, the amount of time you have had the pain
Chronic refers to pain for over 3 months anything under that is described as acute
The skill of any practitioner is going from medical language to patient language
Part of our journey as healthcare practitioners is understanding the impact of the language we use
Tape changes the sensation from a painful area to a non-painful one giving your brain something else to focus on
There are lots of claims about what foam rollers can do but they are in reality a way to self-massage
The action of getting up and moving to complete physical actions is what’s important
Warming up is a vital part of the exercise you are
Walking increases blood flow far more than rolling around on a Victorian torture device

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s elasticated tape at the end of the day, it doesn’t do anything magical
‘I will warm up for the session doing squats, I won’t spend twenty minutes flapping around on a foam roller and getting into weird positions’
‘Never do anything that actively causes pain’
