This two-day course focuses information critical to the assessment and treatment of patients dominated by Nociceptive Pain Mechanisms requiring specific mechanical and functional exercise prescriptions. Outlining Chapter Four of “A World of Hurt: A Guide to Classifying Pain,” pain clinicians will learn how to assess and classify nociceptive inflammation and ischemic pain mechanisms and collaborate with nociceptive mechanical classification systems: Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment – McKenzie Method (MDT) and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS). Classifying nociceptive mechanical syndromes as directional preference, tight and weak connective tissue dysfunction, and functional motor control impairments aids in specificity of exercise prescriptions. Pain clinicians will learn to sub group the nociceptive ischemic pain mechanism to guide patient education and functional exercise prescriptions for post trauma, post-surgical, and pathology. This pain science course provides interventions of patient education and specific prescriptive exercises for each mechanical and functional syndrome for the upper and lower extremity. Video, paper cases, and live patient demonstrations (when available) will aid application to clinicians practice by understanding the importance of the “words” and “moves” necessary to reverse mechanical nociceptive pain mechanisms.
