Redefining Success in Pain Management with Simon Simonsen | PT Pro Talk Podcast
In this moving and emotional video, participants speak candidly about their experience of life with chronic pain, drawing from the last session of a group treatment. Some observe that the true levels of pain have really not changed, but most point to a significant change in the way pain affects their lives. One describes poignantly how while the pain still exists, its hold on their life has significantly been diminished. They've found ways to cope with it by pacing, resting, activity, and acceptance—helpful tools that enable them to live more richly in spite of continued pain. This moving dialogue brings out the nature of resilience: not only learning to endure pain, but to reclaim life alongside of it.
