I never need to. Once the pain has gone and they have functioned normally that sense of needing support goes.
Hi Tasha,
It would be interesting to find out how much the use of tapes like Kinesiology tape help to override the perceived stiffness and dampen the pain perception. I find with some of my chronic patients telling them that the tape will support their back and prevent them from moving beyond the normal range of movement has a dramatic effect on their pain perception and ability to move.
Could it be similar effect to the sounds modulating the perception of stiffness and pain?When you were looking at the ‘feeling stiff verses being stiff’ did you look at passive movements as well?
There are always patients who actively can not move well due to feeling stiff but passively have a good range of motion. If stress receptors are acting in a protective capacity why are they not activating with passive movement?
