Integrating Manual Therapy and Pain Neuroscience: Twelve principles for treating the body and the brain

This new first-of-its-kind text shows how the integration of manual therapy and pain science can help clinicians provide better treatment and improve patient outcomes.

Complete with current research, Integrating Manual Therapy and Pain Neuroscience uses 12 principles of treatment to show how concepts like hypoalgesia, placebo, neuroplasticity, sensory discrimination, body schema, and therapeutic alliance can powerfully influence the outcome of manual techniques.

For physical therapy students and practicing clinicians alike, this book can help practitioners meet the many challenges modern therapists face while improving patient outcomes.

Written by physical therapists Adriaan Louw, Emilio Puentedura, Stephen Schmidt and Kory Zimney.
