Q. I was curious, how do you work around chronic pain. After visiting your chronic pain center, I read your introduction. You mention a pain management philosophy, or exercise application around pain. I can’t find anywhere in your articles, or section that address this topic in detail. Is there an article you have written on this topic? If so, where can I go to read it?A. This is a very good question. The work outs, or fitness programs around chronic pain will be presented in some of the monthly excerpts from Mirror Athlete with Chronic Pain Chronicles. Since you have seen the summary at our chronic pain center, you also understand most of this information will be released once the chronicles manuscript is published as a book. Although I have not provided any detail on how Mirror Athletes that are-aren’t disabled work around chronic pain and specific techniques applied to stay relatively active & fit… I can say this is a work in progress (I will write some articles outside the chronic pain articles revolving around overall fitness and exercise program). I can also tell you I can provide tidbits of information that you can use now to incorporate into a fitness exercise program to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. For example,A very important key to exercising, or performing activity if you have chronic pain, or are basically disabled because of your chronic pain, you first must understand what triggers your pain [I like to analyze the "what, when, where & how pain is triggered]. You need to learn to do the same thing. This physical pain analysis prior to activity, or exercise work outs is critical.You also must have a good understanding of your medical & health condition, goals and activity risks by working with your primary care physicians and/or medical specialists ensuring you understand how a pain condition could be aggravated to become more chronic. Keep in mind what I’m presenting here is not a complete medical, health, or history audit checklist before exercise activity commences. These general bullets are instead the basic rudimentary steps required to understand how you can stay active even with disabilities without risking further aggravation and harm to your body. Since exercise and activity are key ingredients to my healthy life program, it is essential that all walks of life looking to improve their health condition apply an activity, exercise, pain management program that makes sense for their overall health management program.
In other words, if an activity creates pain beyond a manageable level of pain tolerance, I’d say relative to your pain and health management program this is not good for your body and could cause serious harm to a preexisting condition.
