Pain from physical therapy perspective!!

Hi everyone.

I have been asked from my local hospital to prepare a lecture about "Pain from physical therapy perspective", Can anybody suggest me some outlines for this lecture.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi visari_fizio

this is a huge topic so you will really need to think about focusing on something.

Katherine Sluka's book is a good text:
International Association for the Study of Pain | Mechanisms and Management of Pain for the Physical Therapist

And this article by her and Anthony Wright is a bit out of date but it is well put together:

Nonpharmacological Treatments for Musculoskeletal Pain : The Clinical Journal of Pain

The British CSP has a special interest group that has some good resources:

The Physiotherapy Pain Association Online

And Lorimer Moseley's site is well worth a look - very up-to-date and thinks outside the box:

Body in Mind ? Research into the role of the brain and mind in chronic pain disorders

All the best with your lecture

Thank you very much gcoe, it will serve me to make framework of the lecture.

Any other idea, anybody !???

Hi Vizari

You can also go to the Somasimple forum.... lots of discussions amongst colleagues going on about pain called
somasimple: the so simple body, a place for physical therapy

David Butlers website is worth visiting as well.
Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, Noigroup Publications, Movement and education for pain, stress and performance

I agree with Gcoe, you need to find a topic, these sites should give you some ideas.
