Join us in this episode as we explore holistic approaches to managing chronic back pain with Steffan Cavalera, a dedicated physiotherapist from Kieser in Fitzroy. Steffan brings a wealth of experience, having personally endured and triumphed over an eight-year battle with chronic pain.

Steffan's passion lies in the holistic treatment of low back pain, where he integrates the biopsychosocial model into his practice. He explains the distinctions between nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, and delves into the complexities of central and peripheral sensitization.

Drawing from real-life cases, Steffan illustrates how beliefs and past experiences can amplify nociceptive signals and influence pain perception. He shares insightful examples, including scenarios where beliefs about mobility hinder recovery from back pain, how fear and anxiety exacerbate neck pain, and challenges faced by individuals post-back surgery dealing with persistent low back pain.

For practical solutions, Steffan discusses the importance of patient education, addressing environmental triggers, and implementing graded exposure to movement and loading. These strategies are essential in empowering individuals to take an active role in their recovery journey.

Whether you're someone navigating chronic back pain or a healthcare professional seeking effective pain management strategies, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps toward holistic healing.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of chronic pain management and discover how holistic approaches can pave the way to a pain-free life.

REPLAY of Most Popular Episodes:  Successful treatments for vaginismus by Dr Taru Jindal, Gynaecologist and Vaginismus Coach

Dr Fabienne Chevalier is a therapist, a matrescence and motherhood advocate, an educator and researcher into language, the mind and behaviour and also a mother. With a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, anger and emotional blocks, she brings together therapy, coaching and a background in research and education in linguistics, sociology and psychology in her practice.

In particular, she works career-driven and working mothers who feel like they have lost themselves since they became mothers and who feel trapped, unfulfilled, undervalued and invisible. She helps them to break free from survival mode and the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood, including anger, resentment and guilt, and navigate motherhood and career on their own terms so they can reconnect with themselves and be the fulfilled mother, woman and professional they want to be.

She does 1:1 therapy and coaching. She also runs a live group program called So Much More Than a Mother, supporting and connecting mothers going through these emotional struggles. Her self-study course on maternal anger will be released later this year in 2023. It will enable women who don’t feel ready to seek 1:1 help from a therapist yet to start working through it at their own pace.

Today Dr Fabienne Chevalier talks about:
What maternal anger and mum rage are
Why talking about anger and rage in motherhood is still a taboo conversation that carries stigma and leads mothers to hide it
Where anger and rage really come from and what is at the root of these issues
How guilt sustains the cycle of anger and rage in motherhood
The ways Dr Fabienne helps mothers get out of the anger cycle
