This textbook combines research findings with practical relevance for physiotherapists, sports scientists, and orthopedic specialists in dealing with acute and chronic pain. Insights from pain research provide a deeper understanding of the neurobiological processes involved in pain and are translated into practical applications.
Contents
The history of pain from ancient times to the present
Neurobiology of nociception and pain
Cortical-neuronal and biochemical correlates of pain perception, as well as neuroplasticity
Discussion of postural-structural-biomechanical factors related to the development of pain
Practical assessment strategies with questionnaires and documentation, as well as the most effective therapeutic methods
Case-specific exercise recommendations for chronic back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain
Deepen your knowledge of the symptom of pain and learn to better understand the complaints of your patients.
