There's one thing, having had as many injuries as I've had, you learn a lot about yourself when you suffer an injury, and you learn a lot about other people. And that's immeasurable.
Ever wondered why some people bounce back quickly from injuries while others struggle for months or even years? In this episode, Dr. Maya Novak sits down with Erica Meloe, a board-certified physiotherapist and former Wall Street trader, to uncover the secrets behind effective injury recovery. Erica, who also authored 'Why Do I Hurt?', shares her wisdom on distinguishing between good pain and bad pain, a crucial skill for anyone dealing with persistent discomfort.
She emphasizes the importance of knowing what not to do as much as knowing what to do, especially when it comes to physical therapy. Erica dives into three must-ask questions when choosing the right physiotherapist, ensuring you get the best care tailored to your needs. She also explores how integrating imagery and mindfulness with physiotherapy can work wonders in regaining movement and eliminating pain.
If you've ever felt stuck in your recovery journey, Erica's advice on what to discuss with your physiotherapist could be a game-changer. This episode isn't just about physical recovery; it's a holistic look at how mental, emotional, and cognitive aspects play a role in healing. Erica's compassionate approach offers hope and practical tips for anyone navigating the challenging road of prolonged pain.
Whether you're recovering from an injury or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides invaluable insights that could make all the difference.
