A mechanism-based approach to physical therapist management of pain
Pain reduction is a primary goal of physical therapy for patients who present with acute or
persistent pain conditions. The purpose of this review is to describe a mechanism-based …

Interaction between pain, movement, and physical activity: short-term benefits, long-term consequences, and targets for treatment
Movement is changed in pain. This presents across a spectrum from subtle changes in the
manner in which a task is completed to complete avoidance of a function and could be both …
