Always a Student

Don't leave this read for just students. This is a must for all clinicians. The pain revolution is constantly growing and this text provides clinical application of the fast growing field of neuroscience. It is concise and incorporates the evidence re: the HOW to evaluating and treating persistent pain. The special consideration chapter was a bonus and much appreciated.

Helpful in the clinic and the classroom!

This book is incredibly useful for introduing students to the concepts and integrative framework of pain neuroscience. As a clinical instructor and faculty member, I have utilized the information in this book to enhance my own understanding as well as the understanding of my clinical and classroom students. Every chapter is thoughtfully constructed to allow the reader to gain confidence and a practical understanding of how to understand, evaluate and treat pain.

A Text that Students Will Actually Use and Enjoy!

I am a PT educator who teaches the Integrative Pain Sciences course within our curriculum. This book is fantastic and ideal for PT/PTA students! Not only is the book affordable and within a student's budget, it has just the right amount of content and pages as to not overwhelm the learner but support learning. The way Adriaan and the other authors write is in an engaging, light-hearted, and often comical manner that draws the reader in helping them to build a strong foundation in pain neuroscience. They have a way to make complex topics easy to understand. This is a text your students will actually enjoy reading! Loaded with practical application, this is a must-have book for an aspiring PT/PTA who will be treating patients in pain (all types from acute to persistent in nature).
