- Do you want
to decrease your pain?
Is it okay to decrease that discomfort right now?
If you do, continue watching.
My name is Danyel Degenhardt and I'm the physiotherapist
who specializes in pain.
And, what you're about to experience is 55 tips, tricks,
and techniques for pain management in five minutes.
Keep watching if you don't think it's easy
to imagine feeling better.
You can keep track of the number
in the corner.
The best way to experience this
is putting on your headphones,
sitting in front of the computer.
But, feel free to experience less discomfort
anywhere that you are.
Just please don't operate any heavy machinery
while you're watching this.
You wouldn't operate a forklift if you just took
a huge dose of morphine.
So, don't do this with the video either.
This video isn't meant to be some sort of magical fix,
just to show you some opportunities of what there is
to manage your pain better now.
It's probably gonna be a bit funny,
definitely a bit ridiculous, and very fast paced.
Once you're read to feel more comfortable now,
look inside and rate that discomfort between 0 and 10.
0 being no discomfort at all,
10 being the worst pain imaginable.
Got the number?
Good, make a mental note or write it down
and begin to get ready to experience
more comfort now.
We will start in three, two, one, begin.
Set a goal to watch this video right to the end.
Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in
that breath goes in every cell in your body
making it more and more active.
And, as you breathe out, breathe out all of that tension
all the way through your body so that every breath out
releases more and more tension.
Sit or stand tall.
Close your eyes.
Remember a really happy experience.
What do you remember?
What do you see?
Are there sounds around you?
What sensations do you have?
Now, imagine your favorite person and put them
right in the middle of that happy experience.
Funny to think of that, isn't it?
Now, give that person a compliment.
Isn't that nice.
Open your eyes.
Look to your left, look to your right.
What's that?
A distraction?
Laugh out loud.
Ha!
(chuckles)
That gets me every time.
Move a comfortable part of your body,
maybe the opposite side of the spot that's uncomfortable.
Now, look at the area that you have discomfort
and move it in a comfortable and safe way.
If you flinch, you've gone too far.
Now, look down at your hand and find the spot
in between your thumb and the finger in the web space.
Take your other fingers and squeeze
until it's strong but comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Listen to the music.
I mean really listen to the harmony of Alice's voice.
Put your awareness to that space in between the breaths.
Right there.
You know you don't have to control when the body
stops breathing out or control when the body
starts to breathe in again.
It is done naturally.
And, let the body find its own rhythm
as you follow the rhythm of the music playing
with the body swaying.
And, let those feel good hormones flood the system
and those good sensations and feelings
like when you're in the flow of things
flood your whole body now.
That's right.
Bob Marley said, "You just can't live in that negative way.
Make way for the positive day."
And, just pretend you're feeling more comfortable.
And then pretend you're not pretending anymore
as you ask yourself, what is the difference
between living and being alive?
Think of something that you are thankful for.
No matter how small, notice how that may make you feel.
Open your eyes.
Pet an animal (chuckles).
Pretend you're petting an animal.
Place your forefingers together like this.
Tap the top of your head.
Tap in between your eyes.
Tap your temple.
Tap under your eyes.
Tap your collarbone.
Squeeze your wrist and say peace.
Your body protects you, doesn't it?
Close your eyes.
Notice any discomfort that's left.
What color is it?
Reach with your hand to the area or close to it
and imagine you're pulling out all of the color.
Get all of it.
Sometimes it's hidden away pretty deep.
And, you'll get all the color in three, two, one, got it!
Now, hold it in front of you?
Did the color change?
Using your mind's eye, you can notice that it's moving.
What direction is it moving, clockwise or counterclockwise?
Grab it and start spinning it the other way.
Keep going, faster, stronger, bigger
so that it's impossible for it to go back
to the way it was.
When you know that you got it,
slam it back into the spot.
(fingers snapping)
Notice that it's changed.
You're feeling better.
And in a moment, your eyes will open
only as quickly as you install all of the resources
that you need in order for every cell in your body
to be doing what it needs to be doing in the right way.
You may smile or even laugh at the ridiculousness
that you just experienced.
Or you may be surprised at how comfortable you feel.
Congratulate yourself on watching this video
right to the end and achieving your goal.
And, if you had to rate that discomfort
on a scale from zero to 10, how much better would it be now?
