Dear Guy
Iam a member of the Physiotherapy Pain Association and have just attended our Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Congress in Birmingham England.
There was a real message that patient/client behaviour is a key component to be addressed in the treatment of chronic pain.
Key note speakers were:
Nick Kendall, a clinical psychologist from New Zealand and Co author of 'A guide to assessing Yellow flags in psychological disorders.
John Vlaeyen, clinical psychologist who has written some papers on behaviour and fear avoidance.
Louis Gifford, a physiotherapist who has researched into pain mechanisms and management.
The association have a book out on the Topical issues in Pain management
If you want any more details let me know
regards
Vicki
