Derek Griffin specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist with expertise in chronic pain disorders is talking about chronic pain and how pain is understood on both an individual and societal level.
There are many factors that influence an individual’s experience of pain and Derek explains the importance of listening to the patient and bringing understanding to the narrative.
Everyone will seek to make sense of their pain and understanding the many factors that interact to not only influence the pain but determine the response can help in the management and treatment of individuals.
We are subject to many societal beliefs about back pain from early on in our lives but the narrative can be changed if we are prepared to listen.
