Each professional decade brings new treatment golden arrows for clinicians to embrace and implement when treating patients with persistent pain. Often these tools fall short as means for revolutionary results and are prematurely abandoned in response to misdirected utilization. This course will integrate orthopaedic manual therapy, sensorimotor control strategies, biopsychosocial skillsets, pain science education and medical intervention to explore solutions for redirecting patients’ persistent pain experiences.
