About the Book

Pacing for Pain sets out how activity affects our body tissues and contributes both to the onset and maintenance of pain problems. Chronic pain is very common with up to half of all adults reporting a pain problem of some kind. In more severe cases chronic pain can lead to disability, depression and dependence. Overdoing activities, such as gardening in the spring, can bring on musculoskeletal problems which can persist over many years. All of us have limits to how much force we can exert on our body tissues and if we go over these limits we pay with stiffness and pain. While overdoing activity is an issue for people without pain problems it is far more serious when you have a pain condition. Pain sufferers are not lazy and typically tend to push themselves to get things done and meet the expectations of others. Pacing for pain covers:

    • The difference between acute and chronic pain
      Why chronic pain persists long after the injury or event has passed
      Why you can't use acute pain treatments to manage chronic pain
      How our body tissues react to activity
      Why overdoing activity can result in being stuck in a cycle of pain
      How avoiding activity can worsen pain problems
      How pacing activity can establish control over what you do
      How to avoid the traps which can sabotage your success

  • About the Author: Jonathan Blood Smyth has been a physiotherapist since 1982 in the UK. Since 1989 he specialised in orthopaedics, trauma and pain management, working with a pain management team for 10 years. He has co-authored two papers on back pain and published "Total knee replacement. A guide to getting the best from your new knee" (out of print at the moment). He has been interested in the management of activity and pacing since interviewing hundreds of pain patients over the years and listening to their pain stories. He set up The Physiotherapy Site over ten years ago to provide information about joint replacement, orthopaedics and rehabilitation. He lives in Devon in the UK on the coast and writes on health matters, plays guitar, drinks wine and watches Formula One. You can contact Jonathan at jonathanbloodsmyth.com.
