Pain Science and Sensibility

Sandy and Cory discuss a recent paper that did not find an effect of providing education with therapeutic alliance in a chronic low back pain population. Does that settle the question of whether establishing a therapeutic alliance is worthwhile, or is there more to it? Of course there's more to it. Listen in on the conversation and see if you agree with our take. Miyamoto GC, Fagundes FRC, de Melo do Espírito Santo C, et al. JOSPT. 2021 Aug;51(8):392-400. doi: 10.2519/jospt.2021.9636.

Pain Science and Sensibility

These questions arise very frequently in rehabilitation. Should it hurt? Is it OK if it hurts? Will I set myself back if it hurts? Will I get better if it doesn't hurt? In this episode we examine a pair of articles that examine these questions. One article is an RCT that covers pain free vs. painful exercise in an acutely injured population, while the other is a systematic review and meta analysis of the approach in chronic pain populations.

This paper, with results that many find very surprising, has started a bit of a buzz in the PT world. What do we make of the results? Can we trust the results? What does this mean in clinical practice? We were able to discuss these topics and more with the researchers themselves as Adrian Traeger and James McAuley were kind enough to share their time and help us navigate these new findings.
