Just found out my good friend & former colleague Jason Erickson passed away last weekend (far right). He was one of the few manual therapists whom I've connected online & later met in person at the San Diego Pain Summit in 2015.
This was taken at SDPS 2018. #massagetherapy #massage #painscience
Trigger points aren’t a disease, but protective responses to pain and instability. Surgery, inflammation, or prolonged sitting can create fascial hypoxia and pain chains.
#GRI identifies the source, inhibits reflexes, and helps break the cycle by restoring movement freedom.

🧠 Reframing Pain in Practice using a biopsychosocial framework.

Looking forward to an engaging and interactive learning experience with fellow physiotherapists.

When fear-avoidance behavior is studied by itself, research tends to find a positive and/or strong association with #chronicpain.
But when it's studied in combined with other factors of pain, the effect size isn't as great as once thought.

A 2023 systematic review of 19 trials found #CBT for #chronicpain tends to produce the largest benefits in ppl who start treatment w/ high pain catastrophizing levels, comorbid anxiety/depression, younger age, or shorter pain duration under 5-7 yrs. #painscience

Researchers at CalTech in 2012 found that ppl can respond differently to the same quality of touch based on context.
18 straight men were put on a #massage table with VR goggles that show who will be doing the massage.

🎯Great to see how physiotherapy students responded to the Knowledge of Pain Board Game. Game-based learning continues to show its value in helping future clinicians grasp complex biopsychosocial pain concepts in low- and middle-income countries.

Despite the small to medium benefits of #paineducation for #chronicpain, Moseley et al. wrote in 2024 that an audit of the pain education literature showed two “important patterns” that should be taken into context.

"Considering pain not as a marker of injury but as a
human experience should not be an alternative or niche
therapy, but the very thing that unites us." ~ Dr. Patrick Wall, 9th World Congress on Pain, 1999
#painscience #chronicpain
“We have traveled a long way from the concept that seeks a simple one-to-one relationship between injury and pain. We have a theoretical framework...for the body-self is modulated by the powerful stress system & the cognitive functions of the brain.” ~ Dr. Ronald Melzack, 1999 #painscience

Update of basic #painscience and treatment options for patients in #chronicpain and acute #pain.
Every few years, I review the basics & somehow the same info has a little different meaning to me. I guess life experience shapes comprehension. #physiotherapy
