I wish all doctors would speak like that to me and to everybody!! Thank you, keep it up

Very very nice! Thanks for sharing this knowledge and helping us tweak our ways of communication with these clients. "Movement is the single biggest pain killer on planet earth. These problem is people in pain are just afraid to move" Golden. Good job from the interviewers' side as well

What a wonderful confirmation, Brent, of your approach to patients, your masterful skills in communicating, and in understanding the multifactorial aspect of pain, and your grasp of the research. Bring present is what you have modeled since I have known you. And what a confirmation of your long emphasis on the importance of pain free movement as the key to changing behavior to less pain, better function. Well done Brent and Adriaan. Such an important message.

This is great. As a massage therapist, I get a very high percentage of clients that fall into the 3rd type of pain. It has been so wonderful to be able to incorporate Pilates into their treatment plans and watch them improve and enjoy a better quality of life.

Thanks gentlemen. The puzzle piece that you didn't mention is the bio-electrical system. I can highly recommend Applied Movement Neurology and the founder David Fleming. Great information

Dry needling is so unbelievably effective at treating the most common cause of chronic pain, myofascial pain syndrome.

Bret Anderson is a willingly ignorant waste of time clinician.

Another movement is everything out dated PT
