| Brief Description | Presented by the Northern Ontario District of OPA Thursday, September 12, 2024 Instructor: Bahram Jam is the founder and director of Advanced Physical Therapy Education Institute (APTEI) and has been a chief instructor for over one-thousand postgraduate Orthopaedic courses across Canada and internationally. He has presented at several national and international conferences. He currently practices with direct patient care at Athletes Care in Toronto. Learning Objectives We, as a society, are obsessed with “quick fixes” and desperately search for “magic cures” to solve the unexpected discomforts we experience. No one likes to experience a trauma, therefore not wishing to be injured is human and of course rational, but not expecting to experience pain when an injury has occurred is irrational. Expecting to get fully better faster than the body is capable of healing itself is also an unreasonable expectation. There is certainly a role in physiotherapists assisting patients with acute soft tissue injuries, such as assurance, bracing, activity modifications and optimal exercise prescription. However this presentation will offer supportive evidence that as PTs we need to stop focusing on pain, as the overuse / inappropriate use of most “pain management” interventions are a leading cause of CHRONIC pain.
