Check Out Rick's Newest Pain Pattern Book
------------------------
Chronic or difficult pain is often treated using what our guest calls “component thinking” which means practitioners are simply targeting a small part of the body–the tissues that are damaged or irritated.
The problem with component thinking is that it works best for simple pain issues like strains, tears, or broken bones. Component thinking approaches begin to fail when pain doesn’t go away after this natural healing process should have occurred and turns into a more complex, chronic condition.
This indicates a “systems problem” – meaning there is a system of stressors acting on your tissues, irritating or interrupting this natural process of healing. One thing is for sure - if you’re still in pain after three months, you have a system problem.
Rick, our guest today, uses a systems approach to help individuals fix chronic pain... we will learn how to get out of 'individual silo thinking' and pull multiple systems together for optimal relief from PAIN.

In this book, the author discusses his ground-breaking approach to treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, drawn from decades in his Denver, Colorado orthopedic physical therapy clinic.
Using a holistic yet evidence-based strategy to solving the body's pain mysteries, he provides insight and hope to those seeking answers, arguing that the key is to recognize that the location of pain has little to do with where the pain actually originates.
The book takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery, revealing unique body connections at the root of chronic pain, and includes real patient stories about how this approach helped with everything from sciatica to migraines.

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships.
