And before anyone says it… non specific pain doesn’t mean there is NO tissue involved! 🤦♂️
It simply means we do NOT have any valid or reliable tests to tell us specifically which tissues are or are not involved, nor any specific treatments for them!

10. Encourage Self-Management:
Self management leads to better long-term outcomes and fosters independence. But self management is NOT just expecting people to get on and do it alone. Self management takes time and most need support to do it! Help get them there!

9. Set Realistic Expectations:
Everyone underestimates how long things take to recover… including clinicians! Poor awareness of natural history and average recovery times is one of the biggest reasons for unnecessary investigations and treatments!

8. Be Aware of Psychosocial Factors:
High levels of stress, anxiety, and depression can influence pain and should be considered in treatment planning. If you feel ill-equipped to do this, don’t just ignore it, go and find someone who can!

7. Avoid Over-Reliance on Passive Treatments:
While treatments like manual therapy can provide some temporary relief, they steal precious time and attention away from more active and empowering rehab. If you are rubbing everyone for everything, you are doing it wrong!

6. Active Rehab is Fundamental!
Helping people in pain to move is essential. Not only for the physical benefits but also for their confidence. If you haven’t got someone in pain moving, you are doing it wrong!

5. Communication is Vital:

4. Empower People!
Helping people understand that their body is NOT fragile or easily damaged when in pain improves their confidence and function, and reduces their fears and pain! DON’T scare the shit out of people!

3. Treat People not Pathology!
Each person’s pain experience is unique. Tailoring your advice and treatment to a persons individual needs and circumstances is essential. Ditch the photocopied sheets of generic advice and exercises!

2. Pain is Complex but Simple!
Pain encompasses physical, psychological, and social dimensions, but fundamentally pain causes distress! Address the distress, address the pain!
