The sacroiliac joint is an area that remains contentious despite all of the research that’s taken place and in this episode, we are chatting to Wilfried Simon, an osteopath and physio from Belgium about the misconceptions, if it can be a cause of pain and what to do if it is KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s a connection point but there isn’t much movement, only 3 degrees and its deep within the spine If you want the patient to be able to treat themselves and achieve autonomy they have to understand what’s wrong When you have manipulation it’s about what it creates overall including how the person thinks about it Identify the movement that is painful and work with the patient to make the movement less sensitive through changing the axis of the movement and building the confidence of the patient to complete movements Trust the future and the process, not very day is the same, not every day is pain free but that’s what make the patient stronger and you stronger BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s important to treat the person not the problem’ ‘There is aways a combination of what’s happening mechanically to the joint and how the patient perceives and feels about what’s happening’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.instagram.com/the.spine.physio/?hl=en THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ The Healthcare Co Polos - https://www.thehealthcare-co.com/en-gb ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

Adam Dobson, physiotherapist, returns to the podcast to talk about the Back to Health Programme, a residential rehabilitation programme for people suffering from persistent back painIn this episode hear not only from Adam but also from Rebecca whose experience on the programme changed her life. They discuss the challenges of being told many different things, medication and why the programme is life-changing KEY TAKEAWAYS You can go to various physiotherapists and be told many different things, it can become a shopping list given to patients without any real idea of what it means to manage the problem I was pushed out of my comfort zone in many different ways but I was in an environment with people who understood and shared their experiences, it was enlightening in many ways and restored my faith in human nature In the first days of the course there will be many accounts of the shopping list of problems people have been told about their bodies When a professional tells you something you believe them because they are the expert in that area. The programme has taken on a lot of feedback and has evolved, with lots of previous patients contributing to the programme It should be a front-ended option for people with persistent pain who want to learn deeply to take control and get happy again To know with confidence that doing things isn’t going to cause any more damage has made me stronger than I’ve ever been The course gives you the confidence to understand how the body is working, what it's telling you and what’s dangerous and what isn’t BEST MOMENTS‘There wasn’t one thing that was important, the whole course is important every aspect of it is important’‘Everyone’s experiences had put them in a dark place’‘He led us through those grotty times and showed us where we could be today’‘It’s given me back my confidence and I do more than I’ve ever done before,'I no longer believe the pain is causing damage’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAINhttps://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCESThe Back Pain PodcastThe Back Pain Podcast websiteThe Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate linkOur Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bxOur Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9ZSecond Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeAXLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZBStudio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LELaptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafTOur webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ ABOUT THE HOSTSDave ElliottDave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
