Der Teufelskreis aus Schmerz, Angst und Bewegungsvermeidung: Ursachen und mögliche Auswege

Menschen mit chronischen Schmerzen haben mitunter Angst vor bestimmten Bewegungen. Sie vermeiden entsprechende Aktivitäten, bauen körperlich ab und leiden schlimmstenfalls unter noch stärkeren Schmerzen und Depressionen. Die Ursache für ihre ‚Kinesiophobie‘ liegt in bewegungsassoziierten Negativerfahrungen, im sozialen Umfeld und auch in der unbeabsichtigten Fehlkommunikation oder etwaigen Verunsicherung von Therapeuten. Die Expositionstherapie sowie das Graded-Activity-Konzept helfen, um den Teufelskreis des Angst-Vermeidungs-Modells zu durchbrechen.
