The effective management of pain is a problem which confronts all manual therapists.
\nThis book provides a clear picture of our current understanding of pain mechanisms
\nand shows how that knowledge should inform approaches to treatment.
\nThe knowledge of pain science that the book conveys will help the therapist
\nselect the best approach to the clinical management of each patient.
\nDifferent types of pain disorder may require different management strategies which
\nmay involve only one discipline or, at other times, a multidisciplinary team
\nwhich may also include medical clinicians, psychologists, occupational therapists,
\nnurses and other healthcare practitioners as well as manual therapists.
\nThe book is divided into three parts:
\n\u0095 An introduction to the concept of pain and its neurophysiological mechanisms.
\n\u0095 A review and discussion of current and potential evidence-based evaluation methods.
\n\u0095 A review and discussion of common types of functional pain disorders.
\nThis approach provides readers with a comprehensive reference to evidence-based
\ninformation that should enable them to manage their clients\u0092 pain as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n

Phil Austin is a UK-trained osteopath and researcher who holds a PhD in pain medicine. Austin’s clinical areas of interest include the treatment of computer-related musculoskeletal pain conditions and the effects of work-related stress on the severity and duration of persistent pain. Austin graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in 1997. Following the completion of his degree Phil worked in New Zealand, UK and Sweden and is now permanently located in Sydney where he combines his clinical work with research. This includes the investigation of clinical methods of predicting the extent and severity of pain in people with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. He is also a member of the Australian Osteopathic Accreditation Council and a leader in the Chronic Pain Practice Group.
