You're listening to Professor Cormac Ryan of Teesside University and the Flippin' Pain team, here to flip your understanding of persistent pain. This is Episode 7 - Recovery is possible.

“Recovery is possible. But it looks different for everyone and often looks different to how you expect it will.

Recovery came for me when I stopped only looking externally for a cure, and turned inwards, flipped my understanding of pain and made changes in my thinking, behaviour and lifestyle. I found life opened out again and became bigger, braver and better. Recovery can require hard work, commitment and courage, but it’s oh so worth it. Self-compassion underpins everything, as does the willingness to take control of your own pain experience.

Recovery is possible, even after many years of not believing it was.

- Niki (Person with persistent pain)
