Sports Medicine & Pain Management

difficult to find information about What Sports Medicine & Pain Management actually is. Most pages on
the internet just talk about How to get into Sports Medicine & Pain Management. My research about a
Career in Sports Medicine & Pain Management became a lot more meaningful when I found:

Rajat Chauhan's outlook!
Rajat Chauhan invested 16 years & 8 months in Sports Medicine & Pain Management. Rajat Chauhan
has worked in Sports Medicine & Pain Management as Sports Medicine & Pain Doctor in Back 2 Fitness.
In Rajat Chauhan's own words, this is how Rajat Chauhan got into Sports Medicine & Pain Management:
"I like to call myself a student of pain and running, as I’m always learning more about my subjects of
interest. I am also a militant advocate of GOYA (Get Off Your Arse) Move-Mint. I have been running
for last 34 years and making others to run too. In my spare time I am a doctor specializing in Sports-
Exercise Medicine (Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham) and Osteopathy / Musculo-Skeletal Medicine
(London College of Osteopathic Medicine) with special interest in Back and Knee Pain. In 2008, I
started my own clinic Back2Fitness and I work as CEO and Medical Director there. Besides heading
Back 2 Fitness, a Sports-Medicine & Muscuklo-Skeletal Medicine clinic for last 10+ years. I, along with
my band of crazy friends, came up with La Ultra - The High, a 555 km (previously 333 & 222 km) run in
Leh-Ladakh, India. We have been putting it together for last 9 years now. Some call it the world's
cruelest ultra marathon. In 2017, we are brought to India its first iRun Fest, a Running Festival, which
showcased Running Documentaries from around the world, Panel Discussions with thought leaders in
running being on board and a platform for all involved in running in whatever capacity. Till 2016, I had
been associated with Adidas India as Running Advisor for about 3 years. I was also the founding
Director of Sports & Exercise Department at Ashoka University where I was responsible for the sports
infrastructure and making sports and physical activity an integral part of the curriculum. I have been
writing for Mint and Hindustan Times for over a decade now. I've done a series of running podcast,
MoveMint for Mint newspaper and series of FacebookLive for Hindustan Times newspaper. I have also
been an Associate Editor at British Journal of Sports Medicine and a columnist for The Hindu,
Hindustan Times, Mint, Forbes India and Founding Fuel. My book on Pain, published by Penguin
Publications, The Pain Handbook was released in 2016." I searched Rajat Chauhan on Google and found

Career Video on Sports Medicine & Pain Management
In a video, Rajat Chauhan has talked about various aspects of a Career in Sports Medicine & Pain
Management. Rajat Chauhan started by explaining Sports Medicine & Pain Management as: "Sports
medicine is an area of medical practice concerned with holistic well-being of the sports person,
whether it be amateur or elite. It also addresses role of exercises in health conditions and or for well-
being of all. It also involves nutrition, exercise & sports technique, recovery, performance and
treatment of injuries resulting from sports-exercise activities. Musculoskeletal Medicine (Pain
management) is an area of medical practice which focuses on conservative non-injection & non-
surgical management of muscular and skeletal pains. For that you need to address both psychological
and physical issues by understanding the patient rather than just pain area." I watched the full video
and I absolutely loved it.
We all know that only 10% of what is taught in Sports Medicine & Pain Management is actually used in
real life. The education section of the video clearly explained what is the 10% needed in Sports Medicine
& Pain Management. Rajat Chauhan touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:
