אודות פרק זה
Most pain treatments are failing—and the data proves it. Despite billions spent on scans, therapies, and interventions, chronic pain rates continue to rise. The real issue? We’re asking the wrong question and reinforcing the very problem we’re trying to fix.
In this episode, physiotherapist and educator Bahram Jam breaks down why modern rehab often creates more fear, more dependency, and more chronic pain—and what clinicians must do differently to actually help patients improve function and regain control.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- Why trying to “fix pain” is the biggest mistake in rehab
- How fear-based language creates chronic pain (without you realizing it)
- The difference between treating symptoms vs restoring function
- Why biomechanics and “movement flaws” are often irrelevant in chronic pain
- How to use communication, placebo, and psychology as powerful treatment tools
- A better framework for exercise, manual therapy, and patient outcomes
This episode is for clinicians, coaches, and healthcare providers who want to get better results without overcomplicating treatment or reinforcing patient fear.
