Smerter og smertebehandling

N/A

Denne bog er baseret på interviews med Ole Kåre Føli foretaget helt op til få dage før hans død i april 2018. I dag kan man kurere sygdomme, som mennesker tidligere døde af, og fikse mekaniske skader på kroppen, som tidligere forkrøblede permanent. Men lægernes syn på kroppen som en slags maskine har vist sig at have nogle store begrænsninger, og meget tyder på, at vi i den vestlige verden nu er ved at nå den yderste kant af, hvad denne mekaniske kropsopfattelse kan redegøre for. Psyken skal indregnes i behandlingen. Ole Kåre Føli har, siden han var 12 år gammel, givet behandlinger med sine hænder – en behandlingsform, der siden skulle udmønte sig i metoden Body SDS. I 1998 blev Ole Kåre Føli behandler på cykelholdet Team CSC. Han arbejdede desuden med balletdansere fra både Danmark og New York City Ballet og mennesker i øvrigt, der havde brug for hans alternative behandling. I denne bog fortæller han om sit eget sygdomsforløb og forsøger at guide læseren frem til, hvad krop og psyke har brug for. En afgørende pointe er, at vi ikke kun skal behandle og dulme sygdomssymptomer, men gå dybere og finde årsagerne til, at en ubalance eller sygdom i første omgang er opstået i kroppen.

Perfektion er en illusion, og det ved vi godt, men de seneste 20-30 år er der sket en stigning i presset for at være perfekt. Tidens perfekthedskultur må og skal vi gøre op med, da perfektionisme kan føre til forskellige former for mistrivsel. Vejen ud af perfekthedskulturens onde cirkel er mangesidig. I bogen præsenteres vi for forskning fra den positive psykologi koblet sammen med inspiration fra den japanske filosofi wabi-sabi. Bogen viser, hvordan vi lærer at finde meningen i livets foranderlighed, i vores egen ufuldkommenhed og i livets fællesskaber. Det er også et opgør med forbrugsræs og troen på, at man kan købe, kontrollere eller forhaste sig lykkelig. Der gives 12 konkrete bud på sammen at finde veje til at leve fuldt ud med et mere balanceret fokus på: Trivsel. Kærlighed. Kreativitet. Opbyggelige relationer. Fællesskab. Flow. Glæde. Selvværd. Nærvær. Frihed. Mening. Mod. Styrker. Det er selve modet til at være uperfekt, der giver skønheden i livet.

Kroniske smerter er, ligesom alle andre kroniske sygdomme, noget, der påvirker hele tilværelsen; i hjemmet, på arbejdspladsen og i fritiden. Mange menneskers viden om smerte er desværre forældet, og derfor kan det være svært at forstå, hvordan humør, adfærd og smerter hænger uløseligt sammen.Lotte Heise har selv haft smerter, siden hun var i starten af 20’erne. Sammen med smerteekspert Morten Høgh ønsker hun med denne bog at hjælpe folk med kroniske smerter på vejen mod bedring og samtidig hjælpe pårørende til at forstå, hvad det vil sige at leve med kroniske smerter.Bogen beskriver Lottes oplevelser af et liv med smerter, suppleret med den nyeste viden fra smerteforskningen samt gode råd til alle smerteramte. Der er ingen udløbsdato på kroniske smerter, men der findes løsninger! Du kan selv gøre meget for at afhjælpe og mindske smerterne. Det gælder også, selvom du har haft ondt i årevis. Med andre ord viser Lotte og Morten vejen til at lægge smerterne på hylden!“Det ville være dejligt at finde en form for ‘smertefællesskab’, for det har jeg tit savnet gennem mine 40 år med smerter. Det er mit inderligste ønske, at denne bog, der er til alle os, der har lyst til at skrige ‘AV!’ mange, mange gange om ­dagen, måske kan hjælpe læseren til at føle sig mindre plaget, mindre alene og MERE forstået!”– Lotte HeiseOm forfatterneLotte Heise (født 1959) er entertainer, foredragsholder og radiovært i Danmarks Radio. I 2017 havde hun 30-årsjubilæum med sine solooptrædener over hele Danmark og i udlandet. Læg smerterne på hylden er Lotte Heises 10. bog, og hun har bl.a. tidligere skrevet Lottes operabog og Selvfølgelig skal hun bo hos mig.Morten Høgh (født 1973) er ph.d., fysioterapeut (FysioDanmark Aarhus) og smerteforsker (Aalborg Universitet) og underviser i smerte- og neuro­videnskab i ind- og udland. Han er medforfatter på adskillige lærebøger og videnskabelige artikler og har siddet i flere arbejdsgrupper i bl.a. Sundhedsstyrelsen. Morten brænder for at nedbryde myter om kroniske smerter og derigennem gøre behandlingen bedre for dem, der lider af denne sygdom.

"An inclusive guide to improving mobility, building strength, and increasing flexibility for every body and any size, shape, and ability"--

This book covers sensation in all major components of the pelvic region. The small pelvis is containing many different structures and viscera, and sensations elicited there are important for regulating a normal daily life and for warning that something is going wrong. The sensory system is driving in many aspects the motor activity, and precedes and guides the efferent functions. It is surprising that in the last 60 years the ratio between research and publications about sensory versus motor has gradually become less. There has been undoubtedly a rise in the number of publications written on pelvic sensation but in the same time the number of manuscripts on motor function have increased more.It is the hope that this compilation of most data available on sensation will be of interest for the reader, will incite to perform more research so that an important part of pelvic functional diagnosis and treatment modalities will use the whole of the mechanisms available.The book is intended for all interested in pelvic functions and the interactions between the different structures, specialists in urology, gastroenterology, sexuality, pain, pelvic floor function and dysfunction, paediatricians and geriatricians, neurologists, students and those in training . The reader will find interesting and challenging information, and suggestions for further research.
