Translating pain neuroscience into clinical practice

Have you ever felt puzzled by a complex presentation? Know that pain is influenced by multiple factors but not quite sure how and what to do about it? This lecture takes you through core neurobiological processes involved in pain and how multi-dimensional inputs (peripheral, emotional, cognitive, neuro-immune-endocrine systems) come together to influence the pain experience. Practical tips on assessment and integrating information from different aspects of a person’s health are included to improve your clinical care. Read more ↓

Niamh & Martin Q&A webinar Pain Science

02
Translating pain neuroscience into clinical practice

Discover how pain is shaped by far more than injured tissues alone, through a biopsychosocial model that links nerves, brain processes, emotions, lifestyle, and recovery. Learn how these mechanisms influence assessment, clinical reasoning, and care for back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.

31:40
03
Patient discussion

Discover a practical, patient-friendly way to understand low back pain by connecting movement habits, stress, mood, and fatigue. You’ll see how changing the way you bend and lift can ease discomfort while building a broader plan for lasting improvement.

12:23
04
Back pain assessment

Discover why low back pain can look completely different from one person to the next, even when symptoms seem similar. Learn how pain sensitivity, psychology, movement patterns, and lifestyle combine to shape truly individualized assessment and treatment.

13:25
05
Tennis elbow simulation

Learn how to assess peripheral and central sensitization with practical clinical tests, from allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia to pressure pain sensitivity and cold hyperalgesia. You’ll see how to choose relevant measures, compare affected and unaffected areas, and interpret signs of localized versus widespread sensitivity.

08:01
06
Back pain treatment

Discover why most low back pain treatments produce only modest results, and how a multidimensional approach may lead to better outcomes. Learn how cognition, movement, stress, pain education, exercise, and manual therapy can work together to create more effective, individualized care.
