PAIN EXPLAINED

"People move differently in pain" -New Pain Theory

There is a redistribution of responsibility for movement between and within muscles.

There are changes at multiple levels of the motor system.

Short term benefits in the presence of pain, can lead to long term consequences.

Pain changes mechanical behavior and modifies and individual's movement.

"Pain is a warning signal that all is not well in movement". -Dr. Vladimir Janda
