Integrating Manual Therapy and Pain Neuroscience (#429)

Course overview

PT and OT clinicians face more challenges than ever before, including a worldwide pain epidemic and skepticism among critics about the efficacy of hands-on treatment techniques. This course, based on the book Manual Therapy and Pain Neuroscience: Twelve Principles for Treating the Body and the Brain, updates our understanding of pain neuroscience and manual therapy with current research evidence, as it examines ways to improve outcomes with patients. Written by four renowned physical therapists and pain neuroscientists--Adriaan Louw, Emilio Puentedura, Stephen Schmidt, and Kory Zimney--the book provides techniques to help practitioners successfully meet the many challenges inherent in treating patients whose presentation includes some level of pain or fear of movement.
