Mastering Pacing to Break the Boom-Bust Cycle

How can this event help me?

Fatigue can impact many of those with rheumatic conditions, making it tricky to manage a chronic condition that requires balancing activity and rest to maintain energy, and prevent burnout. Join us for our final Lifestyle Event of the year, where Exercise Physiologists Robyn Yin and Sarah Comensoli will guide you through pacing techniques to help you break the “boom-bust” cycle and build a more sustainable, balanced lifestyle.

In this year-end session, Robyn and Sarah will cover:

  • Understanding Pacing: Understand how pacing helps balance activity with rest, supporting energy management and reducing pain or fatigue. Pacing can empower those with rheumatic conditions to maintain productivity without worsening symptoms.
  • Explaining the Boom-Bust Cycle: Explore the boom-bust cycle, where intense activity is followed by extreme exhaustion or symptom flare-ups. Breaking this cycle is essential to achieve steadier, more sustainable energy and better symptom control.
  • The Spoon Theory: Learn how spoon theory helps manage limited energy reserves, providing a framework to prioritise daily tasks, conserve energy, and avoid overexertion, particularly helpful for those managing fatigue and chronic pain.
  • Energy Regulation Strategies: Gain insights into effective strategies for regulating energy and managing fatigue, such as activity modification, planned rest breaks, and gradual activity increases to avoid energy crashes.
  • Actionable Pacing Techniques: Discover actionable pacing techniques, including breaking down tasks, incorporating regular movement breaks, and adapting daily routines to prevent fatigue and protect joint health, tailored for those with rheumatic conditions.

This final session is a perfect opportunity to develop sustainable self-care routines and end the year with tools to support long-term well-being. Join our live virtual event at 8pm Wednesday November 27th.  Like all our lifestyle events, we will welcome questions and discussion so we can all hear and learn from each other.
