I made a decision to have a life, even if it meant more pain, because I was in pain anyway, and what I discovered was that by having a life, I reduced pain.
Imagine living with unrelenting back pain for over two decades. That was Trevor Barker's reality until he discovered a path to recovery that changed his life. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Trevor, a former electrician turned support coordinator, opens up about his journey from chronic pain to newfound freedom. Following a minor workplace injury, Trevor endured debilitating lower back pain for more than 20 years.
His breakthrough came through education and movement, allowing him to reclaim his life and even get married. Now, he collaborates with leading pain scientists and educators to share his story and inspire others to seek change. Trevor discusses how simple lifestyle adjustments, like regular walking, have bolstered his confidence and quality of life. He also addresses the ongoing challenges of managing pain flare-ups and calls on clinicians to rethink their approach to pain management.
Trevor's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with chronic pain, proving that recovery is possible with the right knowledge and mindset.
