Motivations Role in St Peters Exercise for Back Pain Relief

July 18, 2017

Pain is an unusual motivator. Pain may de-motivate one person (fear of pain, excuse to not do, reason to not exercise). Pain may motivate another person (fear of not doing, desire to do more, increased need to exercise). Back pain affects each St Peters back pain sufferer in a different way, too, when it comes to exercise for St Peters back pain relief. Your St Peters chiropractor knows this well. Old Mill Chiropractic helps each St Peters back pain sufferer by starting where he or she is - motivated or not, fearful or not, exercise-craved or not – come to terms with exercise that will relieve and even control and possibly hold off future episodes of back pain.

MOTIVATION AND COMMUNICATION

Often it comes down to communication. As your St Peters back pain specialist, your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic discovers the most appropriate way to communicate with you about your back pain condition and how to help and relieve its pain with exercise. One new research paper shows that communication develops exercise program adherence and clinical outcomes for women more so than men. (1) So your St Peters chiropractic back pain specialist at Old Mill Chiropractic will work hard on communicating with our St Peters chiropractic female patients to motivate them to exercise! Old Mill Chiropractic promises!

MOTIVATION AND NON-SPECIFIC BACK PAIN

Back pain and exercise avoidance kind of go together…for some St Peters back pain sufferers. You?  There are different exercise motivation profiles. What is yours? Body concept, pain, disability, level of activity, and the type of exercise a back pain patient does all influence the back pain sufferer’s wanting to exercise. There are highly motivated back pain patients (29.1%), independently-convinced-that-exercise-will-help-them back pain patients (21.7%), controlled convinced patients who know exercise is good for them but do it only because they feel they have to (19.7%) and less motivated back pain sufferers (29.5%). Interestingly, competitive type athletes with back pain sometimes fall into the latter two groups who perform the prescribed exercise only because they have to. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic is well aware all of these types in day-to-day St Peters chiropractic practice! No concern! Old Mill Chiropractic crafts fitting approaches for all these types to participate in exercise in a healthy way.

MOTIVATION AND CHRONIC BACK PAIN

Matching lifestyle goals to activities is a good way to get a back pain sufferer to exercise. (3) That makes sense to Old Mill Chiropractic! We’ve seen it before. If we can get a St Peters back pain patient doing what he wants to do gets him motivated! Old Mill Chiropractic knows that if a St Peters back pain patient doesn’t like to lift weights, he will not lift weights. Old Mill Chiropractic recognizes that if a St Peters back pain patient misses pushing his grandchild on the swing, he’ll exercise sufficiently to get him back to being able to swing the grandkids. Right?! So what motivates you? Old Mill Chiropractic will listen to you and work with you to find your exercise sweet spot, your exercise plan. It will make a big difference in your back pain level, mood, outlook on life, body’s condition, engagement with life and family and friends. (3) Ready to start?
