Pain is an odd motivator. Pain may de-motivate
one person (fear of pain, excuse to not do, reason to not exercise). Pain may
motivate another person (fear of not doing, desire to do more, increased need
to exercise). Back pain affects each Richmond back pain sufferer in a
different way, too, when it comes to exercise for Richmond back pain
relief. Your Richmond chiropractor knows this well. Johnson Chiropractic
helps each Richmond back pain sufferer by starting where he or she is - motivated or not, fearful or not, exercise-craved or not – accept that
exercise will
relieve and even control and possibly fend off future episodes of back pain.
MOTIVATION AND COMMUNICATION
Often it comes down to communication. As your Richmond
back pain specialist, your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic
discovers the best way to communicate
with you about your back pain condition and how to help and relieve
its pain with exercise. One new research paper shows that
communication develops exercise program adherence and clinical
outcomes for women more effectively than men. (1) So your
Richmond chiropractic back pain specialist at Johnson Chiropractic will work hard on communicating with our Richmond
chiropractic female patients to motivate them to exercise! Johnson Chiropractic promises!
MOTIVATION AND NON-SPECIFIC BACK PAIN
Back pain and exercise avoidance kind of go together…for
some Richmond back pain sufferers. You? There are different exercise motivation
profiles. What’s yours? Body concept, pain, disability, level of
activity, and the type of exercise a back pain patient does all influence the back
pain sufferer’s wanting to engage with exercise. There
are highly motivated back pain patients (29.1%), independently-convinced-that-exercise-will-help-them
back pain patients (21.7%), controlled convinced patients who know exercise is
good for them but do it only because they feel they have to (19.7%) and less
motivated back pain sufferers (29.5%). Surprisingly, competitive
type athletes with back pain sometimes fall into the
latter two groups who perform the recommended exercise
only because they feel they must. (2)
Johnson Chiropractic recognizes all of these
types in daily Richmond chiropractic practice! No problem!
Johnson Chiropractic crafts fitting
approaches for all these types to take part in
exercise in a healthy way.
MOTIVATION AND CHRONIC BACK PAIN
Matching lifestyle goals to activities is a good way to encourage a back pain sufferer to
exercise. (3) That
makes sense to Johnson Chiropractic! We’ve seen it
before. If we can get a Richmond back pain patient doing
what she wants to do gets her motivated!
Johnson Chiropractic knows that if a Richmond back pain patient doesn’t
like to lift weights, he won’t lift weights. Johnson Chiropractic
recognizes that if a Richmond
back pain patient misses pushing his grandchild on the
swing, he will exercise enough to get him back
to being able to swing the grandkids. Yes?! So what motivates you? Johnson Chiropractic
will listen to you and work with you to figure out your
exercise sweet spot, your exercise plan. It will make a big
difference in your back pain level, mood, outlook on life, body’s condition, engagement
with life and family and friends. (3) Ready to
