About this listen
In this episode of the Pain Podcast, Tim Beames and Bart Van Buchem tackle one of the most pressing challenges in pain care: how do we define success when pain doesn't go away?
They explore why the traditional pain scale often fails people with chronic conditions, and how clinicians can shift the narrative toward life expansion, not just pain elimination. From functional goals to emotional resilience, discover what meaningful progress really looks like — and why celebrating small wins can be transformative for both patients and therapists.
🎧 Topics include: – Why pain scales aren’t the full story – Alternative outcome measures that reflect real-life improvement – Reframing success: from reducing pain to living well with it – Building trust, confidence, and connection in long-term pain care
Perfect for clinicians, coaches, and anyone supporting people with persistent pain.
