TAPE (Therapeutic Activity and Pain Education) model

The TAPE (Therapeutic Activity and Pain Education) model is a healthcare approach focused on helping individuals manage pain and improve function through education and activity. It emphasizes understanding that pain isn't always directly linked to tissue damage and encourages patients to engage in purposeful activities that promote movement and strength. By learning about pain mechanisms and gradually increasing activity levels, patients can reduce fear, build confidence, and restore normal function. Overall, TAPE aims to empower individuals with knowledge and tools to manage their pain effectively, supporting better recovery and quality of life.
