The Importance of Patient Education
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” -Chinese Proverb
Your most important step towards recovering from chronic pain is for you to understand your condition. The most important thing to understand is what you can do to help yourself. Research has shown that people with chronic pain actually move better as a result of learning why they hurt, as areas of the brain involved with the experience of pain “calm down” during routine exercises.
“Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” -Confucius, circa 450BC
Paul the Physical Therapist’s goal is not to “make” people do the exercises he prescribes, but rather for them to understand how they will benefit from doing them. In many cases, it is as simple as finding a cause and effect. He loves to hear things like: “If I do my exercises before going to work in the yard, I can plant flowers without pain!” Your efforts, your rewards!
