This course provides an overview of the latest pain neuroscience research. It explains basic neurophysiology of pain along with research proven ways to help to turn down the pain dial.

The course is divided into smaller chapters to allow each person to complete it at their own pace.

This course introduces four key areas needed for a successful program to reduce pain. The goal is to provide the client with tools to develop questions and brainstorm prior to or during a physical therapy course of care.
