Box 3 is designed to build the \u201cmusculoskeletal first-aid kit,\u201d which will enable us to manage pain as soon as it arises.<\/p>\n<p>This is a key aspect of pain prevention and chronic pain management: relying on a therapist -no matter how skilled- is risky. They will always intervene too late, and never often enough.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone must therefore become their own therapist, supported by specialists who guide and supplement their efforts. The goal is not to replace trained professionals, but rather to complement them.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a new idea? No: everyone already massages the areas where they feel pain. But very often, they do it incorrectly -in the wrong spot, too hard, or too often.<\/p>\n<p>Box 3 therefore allows you to test therapeutic approaches in a structured way, to find the ones that really work, one pain at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The principle is simple: you need to conduct \u201cclinical trials.\u201d In other words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you do only one thing at a time;<\/li>\n<li>you repeat it three times a day for five to seven days;<\/li>\n<li>you measure the pain before and after, and assess it;<\/li>\n<li>you record the results so you can act quickly and effectively as soon as the pain returns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To support your efforts, Olivier has developed the My Box 3 app. It guides you through the process and helps you gradually build your own personal toolkit, which you can use anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover Box 3 and its applet: they allow you to take back control of your pain, all on your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":176887,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":45,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-176893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-at-home","category-at-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oliviergirard.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
