When it comes to fixing injuries and things, we're pretty good at those right. But when it comes to the healing and the repairing of the injury, I think the medical profession falls far short, because their only answer is: you know pain medications, procedures, more surgeries...
Ever felt like your doctor is only treating a part of you, not the whole person? In this eye-opening episode of 'Healing Horizons', Dr. Maya Novak chats with Eileen Kopsaftis, a seasoned physical therapist with 30 years of experience. Eileen believes that healing goes beyond just addressing the injured body part; it's about treating the entire person. With her extensive background in managing pain and chronic conditions, she sheds light on how everything in our body is interconnected.
Eileen discusses her holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of considering emotional and mental health in the healing process. She talks about the crucial role nutrition plays in managing pain and debunks the myth that aging inevitably leads to physical decline. Eileen also shares practical exercises to help mobilize the thoracic spine, offering listeners tangible steps to incorporate into their recovery journey.
One of the standout points from their conversation is the need for patients to take an active role in their healing. Eileen encourages asking questions and seeking treatments that view them as whole beings rather than just a sum of injured parts. She also voices her frustration with the conventional medical approach, which often relies heavily on pain medications and surgeries without addressing the root causes of pain.
If you're tired of feeling like just another patient in the system, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to reclaim your health. Tune in for practical advice and empowering insights that could change the way you think about pain management and recovery.
