LIVE from the Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans, Lousiana, Matthew Villegas organized a Q & A with Dr. Karen Litzy and Dr. Sandy Hilton about pain science. Dr. Litzy is currently the owner of Karen Litzy Physical Therapy, PLLC, a concierge physical therapy practice in New York City, where she sees clients in their home, gym or office and she is the host of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast. Dr. Sandy Hilton is a physical therapist and her clinical interest is chronic pain with a particular interest in complex pelvic pain disorders for men and women. Sandy is the co-host of Pain Science and Sensibility, a podcast on the application of research into the clinic. In this episode, we discuss: -How does psychology and culture impact someone’s pain experience -Managing expectations and celebrating small wins with patients with CRPS -Self care tips to prevent empathy burnout in physical therapy -Interprofessional collaboration to best manage persistent pain patients -And so much more!   Explaining pain needs to be part of a graded education program just like any exercise program as Sandy reminds, “Everyone learns differently and pain is a uniquely individual experience.”   Every small success should be celebrated and Sandy encourages patients to, “Claim those victories because when you can start doing that¸ you can start building on them.”   Patients with persistent pain would benefit from assurance and motivation as Karen stresses, “If you can be the person for that patient to listen to them, to offer good solid advice, help them take control over their life versus the pain controlling their life, and being able to really get them to understand that they are not fragile and they’re not broken and they’re not damaged goods, that’ll go a long way of getting them better without putting your hands on them or loading a tissue.”   Sandy believes the role of the physical therapist is, “Un-scaring someone and giving them a path to follow and sign marks along the way to be able to recognize that they are getting better and being there to walk it through with them.”   For more information on Karen: Dr. Litzy is currently the owner of Karen Litzy Physical Therapy, PLLC, a concierge physical therapy practice in New York City, where she sees clients in their home, gym or office.
