In this episode of the Beyond Pain podcast, Joe LaVacca and Joe Gambino interview Dr. Tyler Kallasy, a PT and strength and conditioning coach.
Tyler shares his journey of dealing with lower back pain and how it led him to focus on helping others move beyond pain. He discusses his philosophy of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of pain and the importance of reframing the story around pain.
Tyler also talks about his current reading materials, including a book on rebounding from injuries and a book on breathing and mindfulness. Tyler Kallasy discusses the challenges of being fit and athletic while dealing with chronic pain. He explains how being strong and still able to perform fitness activities can be a smoke screen that prevents understanding the severity of the pain.
He shares his personal journey of shifting his mindset from focusing solely on physical qualities to addressing the emotional and cognitive aspects of pain.
Tyler emphasizes the importance of giving up the identity tied to physical qualities and creating space to truly understand and address the pain. He also highlights the need for clinicians to educate patients on the phases of pain and the importance of managing pain rather than solely focusing on reducing it.
