Dave and Rob are having a behind the treatment room door chat about their working week as chiropractors

They discuss the importance of exercise plans and how increasing functional capacity is an important element of any treatment plan and share a great analogy to help understanding

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Any conservative or passive care doesn’t necessarily decrease pain from issues such as osteoarthritis
• People assume massage is aimed at reducing pain but its about increasing functional capacity
• If we improve the capacity of someone’s knee health then it means they can do more
• Exercise increases the capacity and your threshold so you are increasing functional capacity
• You have to look at the bigger picture, if you knee or back is stopping you doing the things you want in life then surgery may be the option to consider
• If you are utilising exercise as part of your treatment plan you need to look at usage and function as well as lessening pain levels
• Having an expectation of no pain can result in less resilience

BEST MOMENTS

‘You may be able to do more with the same amount of pain’

‘Pain is a very normal aspect of society’

‘We can usually increase your capacity but this may not lessen the level of pain’
