The Hidden Influences and Language of The Nervous System
Copyright :
Two individuals experience the exact same painful stimulus yet report very different pain ratings and experiences. Why? The answer requires further examination of the multi-faceted experience of pain involving perception, performance, emotional disturbance and socioeconomic influence. Next, we will address common challenges of treating patients who arrive with reports of seeing numerous doctors and therapists with little to no results. Is this simply a matter of patient compliance or could this also be indicative of our ability to meet the client where they are at? Discover where your client ‘is’ by learning the language of the nervous system in easy and clinically relevant terms. After building a foundation of pain science, we will look at clinical methods of addressing pain including manual therapy, breathing exercises and mindfulness for improved patient satisfaction and retention.
