Understanding Movement For Chronic Pain

The Rest Room is a podcast about living well with chronic illness. I'm Natasha Lipman, an award-winning chronic illness blogger and journalist from London. I've been working with experts to bring you evidence-based guides on a whole host of topics like pacing, exercise, and chronic pain. I'll also be talking to people who live with chronic illness and disability who are doing awesome things and learning how they make it work, as well as digging deep into the businesses and brands that are focussed on accessibility. Think fashion, theatre, film, work, and play - there's a whole lot coming up to explore. So why don't you get cozy, make yourself a cup of tea, and join me in The Rest Room? -- In this episode, I'll share an introduction to my blog series written in collaboration with Claire Campbell from the Physiotherapy Pain Association. It will give you an insight into what physiotherapy is, how to reframe how we think about exercise and movement, and some ways to work through both the physical and mental barriers that many people face when it comes to figuring out how to move and get physically stronger in a way that feels safe and sustainable. A huge thank you to Amit Rai for editing the episode and composing the music and to Lucy Dove for the logo! -- Original Blog Post: http://bit.ly/movement-chronic-pain Transcript: https://bit.ly/restdaypode1transcript Making the most of physiotherapy: https://bit.ly/2Yq1oRJ
