APTA has partnered with IFOMPT to offer this special series of courses. Please provide feedback so that we can continue offering this content.

Pain Science and Orthopedic Manual Therapy are both intervention methods that are designed to reduce pain and improve global outcomes of patients. Both interventions involve pain modulatory principles, and both have been well studied in the literature. Recent social media chatter, clinical opinion, and an occasional publication have pitted these two intervention methods as opposing constructs. This webinar discusses the key principles of each approach and compares and contrasts. Certainly, the methods are not the same, but interestingly, they have similar genetics that are worth discussion.
