Part 2: A Practical Guide to integrating pain science into everyday clinical practice

Part two of our new book is A Practical Guide to integrating pain science into everyday clinical practice.

-

In the three chapters of this section we offer you a guide to using pain science concepts in the clinic to help your patients. At its simplest, this clinical model can be described in three steps: establish, communicate, and act on the knowledge that a patient is ‘safe to move’ - concepts which are developed in the book.

-

This practice model aims to create both psychological and physical change in our patients – it gives patient’s a new way of understanding pain and a new way of experiencing it. That is the direct effect of our treatment, but the end goal is that this new relationship with pain fosters an indirect, long-term effect. After treatment, we hope that patients will regain confidence in their body and re-engage with normal activity.

-

We bring about this transformation through a combination of patient education and movement experience. We offer advice on how to identify the approach that will work best for each patient and how to effectively implement that approach in your practice.
