Patient Education Tool

The Explain Pain Poster Collection is an educational tool that helps teach pain when used in conjunction with Butler and Moseley's Explain Pain book. These materials are ideal for everyday clinical use and will help pain sufferers make informed choices on their road to recovery.

The four titles included are Take Control, Thought Viruses, Road to Recovery and Graded Activity. The posters can be used at home, in a pain peer group setting, or as an everyday educational tool hanging in the waiting room of your clinic. Sold in sets of four plasti-coated 16"W x 24"H posters. The second edition features updated content and references.

The set includes four plasti-coated posters that offer pain education to patients.

Set of Four Educational Posters

Reinforcing Butler and Moseley's best-selling Explain Pain book, these posters are perfect for clinics, pain groups or as constant support at home. Each poster covers an important lesson about pain.

Take Control

Includes four questions that are important for patients to ask clinicians in order to empower themselves to take control of their own recovery.

Thought Viruses

Helps patients identify the thoughts and beliefs that might be keeping them in pain.

Road to Recovery

Shows how knowledge, exercise and activity can help patients discover an “opportunity bypass,” which offers a route to recovery.

Graded Activity

This mountain metaphor allows patients to see that they can set a healing baseline that allows them to challenge their tissues without injuring themselves.
