Pain Fundamentals: Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science

A comprehensive approach to using a traditional biomechanically based practice within a biopsychosocial approach.

Course Schedule is here.

Brief Overview

A percentage of this course is based on the Pain Science Workbook and The Treatment Manual Workbook.  Please download if you are interested.

The biopsychosocial model of pain and injury has been argued as superior to the traditional biomedical approach for more than two decades. However, traditional therapy typically relies on explanations and a clinical reasoning model that is predominantly biomechanics based.  Significant research in the pain neurosciences and biomechanics field often appears to undermine the reasoning and justifications for many of the therapeutic approaches and techniques of the physical therapy profession.  By addressing the both the weaknesses and strengths of the biomechanical approach we can see that treatment can be much simpler, congruent with the cognitive, neuroscience approach and best evidenced based practice.

This course teaches the therapist how to teach patients about pain science in a treatment framework that still utilizes specific/corrective exercise, general exercises and manual therapy. Therapists are taught a model of treatment that simplifies the assessment process and the treatment.
