Adam Dobson, physiotherapist, returns to the podcast to talk about the Back to Health Programme, a residential rehabilitation programme for people suffering from persistent back pain
In this episode hear not only from Adam but also from Rebecca whose experience on the programme changed her life. They discuss the challenges of being told many different things, medication and why the programme is life-changing

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can go to various physiotherapists and be told many different things, it can become a shopping list given to patients without any real idea of what it means to manage the problem
• I was pushed out of my comfort zone in many different ways but I was in an environment with people who understood and shared their experiences, it was enlightening in many ways and restored my faith in human nature
• In the first days of the course there will be many accounts of the shopping list of problems  people have been told about their bodies
• When a professional tells you something you believe them because they are the expert in that area.
• The programme has taken on a lot of feedback and has evolved, with lots of previous patients contributing to the programme
• It should be a front-ended option for people with persistent pain who want to learn deeply to take control and get happy again
• To know with confidence that doing things isn’t going to cause any more damage has made me stronger than I’ve ever been
• The course gives you the confidence to understand how the body is working, what it's telling you and what’s dangerous and what isn’t

BEST MOMENTS
‘There wasn’t one thing that was important, the whole course is important every aspect of it is important’
‘Everyone’s experiences had put them in a dark place’
‘He led us through those grotty times and showed us where we could be today’
‘It’s given me back my confidence and I do more than I’ve ever done before,
'I no longer believe the pain is causing damage’
