Description:

Course Overview

Should pain science education be a hands-off approach? Some believe because there is limited research supporting the use of manual therapy, there is no need for hands-on treatment. However, manual therapy is a great pain management technique, especially if applied with a bio-psycho-social approach. This course explains how manual therapy and pain science education are not mutually exclusive, but rather, are a great complement to each other. Three different classifications of pain are discussed as well as how manual therapy can be incorporated to treat these types of patient presentations. Understanding what type of pain is most dominant for your patient will direct your treatment plan.
