In this episode, Sandy and Cory discuss a recent paper proposing a "Mechanism Based approach to physical therapy management of pain." This paper proposes 5 mechanisms to consider when managing people in pain and how some common PT interventions may impact these mechanisms. The discussion goes into some of the details of these proposals as well as some of the criticisms that have been generated with regards to the paper.
