PAIN MANAGEMENT: PHYSICAL THERAPY

Course overview

Clinicians often refer patients to physical therapy (PT) for treatment of chronic pain and movement disorders caused by chronic conditions, injury, or trauma. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of pain management with PT, including the various PT modalities that will effectively alleviate pain, the types of pain that may be treated with PT, and contraindications for the use of PT in the treatment of pain. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
