  It is not all about strength! Rethinking the role of exercise for musculokeletal pain relief with Dr. Jared Powell. EP#585

  Mar 27, 202626 min

  In this episode, Dr. Jared Powell invites us to reflect on the mechanistic assumptions underlying exercise-based rehabilitation for musculoskeletal pain relief, based on his editorial recently published in BJSM. It’s a great conversation that explores questions such as: Why are these patients getting better? How can we help those who do not respond to exercise? What should be the next steps in research, and what should we be exploring in future clinical trials? Should we offer exercise to all patients with musculoskeletal pain? And how do we explain to patients that recovery may not be all about strength? Press play and enjoy!
