What does it really take to support clients living with chronic pain and fatigue? In this episode, Claire and Maggie explore the complex, biopsychosocial nature of chronic pain and discuss why exercise is only one piece of the puzzle. They unpack the differences between chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and post-exertional malaise (PEM) associated with conditions such as ME/CFS and long COVID, highlighting why generic "no pain, no gain" approaches can do more harm than good. Together, they share practical guidance on communication, exercise programming, scope of practice, and building truly client-centred support, while emphasizing the importance of flexibility, collaboration, and respecting clients as experts in their own bodies.
