I once heard a neuroscientist say:
Many of our frameworks end up being wrong—because the body is more complicated than we ever imagined.
Pain science perfectly illustrates this. We are living in an era where new frameworks are being written—because classical understandings of pain have not only been inadequate, they have led to ineffective and even harmful treatment.
Today, we look at a new framework for understanding pain.
And, there’s good news for OT in it.
The authors argue that such a complex condition needs holistic treatment like OT and PT can provide.
To help us unpack what this all can mean for your daily OT practice, we are excited to welcome to the podcast Irvin Eisenberg, who owns Resilience Occupational Therapy, where he helps members of his community manage their pain.
