Fit-For-Purpose

“This perspective proposes a corresponding treatment framework for persistent pain that aims to shift internal models of a fragile, damaged, unhealthy and unchangeable self toward the formulation of healthy, strong adaptable and fit for purpose, and to provide the system with precise and trustworthy evidence that supports this supposition while minimizing information that works against it.”

Wand et al, 2023.

Powerful words! Referring to what we call “The Fit-For-Purpose Model”.

Pain reduction is not the single, primary goal  of therapeutic intervention. As practitioners we want to help make space. Build a bigger life for our patients as pain can be incredibly constraining - taking away the quality of what we enjoy.

By creating space, expanding the quality of life circle, the pain circle gets smaller.

I have to admit, I cried at the end of my first appointment at PT Elite.  I was still worried about what my future activity levels looked like, but more than that, I think the tears flowed because of relief.  I knew that I had found the right team to help me get through this injury.
