Are you ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about pain treatment with our special guest, Lars Avemarie. As a physiotherapist hailing from Denmark, Lars is walking the talk daily with patients in his clinical practice.
Join us as we unravel Lars' unique journey, the complexities of pain, and the implications of traditional physiotherapy practices.
You will hear Lars breaks down the intricate world of pain management, exposing the therapeutic illusion and the oversimplification of cause and effect in treatments.
Together, we'll explore the detrimental impacts of these misconceptions and the power of a holistic approach. Lars shares his perspectives on the interplay of biological, psychological, and social elements in pain treatment.
Toward the end of our discussion, we dive into the world of pain education and therapeutic alliances. You will want to listen close as Lars emphasizes the importance of a co-constructive approach and shares cutting-edge techniques like narrative-based approaches, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment principles.
Finally, learn about Lars' ongoing work and how you can keep a pulse on his groundbreaking research. Embark on this journey with us and let's redefine the narrative about pain together.
