This is the fourth video of a series of 4. Here you can see some more messages that can heal in patients with nonspecific low back pain.
Address concern s about imaging results and pain
- «Your scan changes are normal, like grey hair».
- «The pain does not mean you are doing damage – your back is sensitive».
- «Movements will be painful at first – like an ankle sprain – but they will get better as you get active».
Encourage self-management
- «Let’s work out a plan to help you help yourself».
- «Getting back to work as you’re able, even part time at first, will help you recover».
