110 - Chronic Pain & The Bio-Psycho-Social Model with Sherry Shaban

Welcome to this week's episode! 

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with the insightful Sherry Shaban, an osteopath and life and fitness coach, who brings a wealth of knowledge on the bio-psycho-social influences on chronic pain. I was particularly eager to dive into Sherry's unique, multi-disciplinary approach to addressing chronic pain—a method that looks beyond just the physical symptoms and considers the whole person.

In our conversation, we explored the bio-psycho-social model, breaking down each aspect—biological, psychological, and social—and how they collectively contribute to chronic pain. But we didn't stop there; Sherry also shared practical solutions within each area that can help manage and alleviate chronic pain.

It's a fascinating and deeply informative discussion that I know you'll find valuable. So, stay tuned as we unpack the causes and solutions to chronic pain with Sherry Shaban!
