Ep 140: Graded motor imagery for managing low back pain, JOSPT Cases (part 2)

In part 2 of this JOSPT Insights x JOSPT Cases collaboration, clinicians Dr Cody Mansfield and Dr Laura Cutler, with Dr Jake Bleacher continue discussing how they used graded motor imagery to help a patient with low back pain.

Treatment sessions 3 and 4 include breakthroughs, progressions, graded movement exposure, and mindfulness training.

We discuss who finds pain neuroscience most helpful, and Dr Chris Hughes explains why this case was a perfect match for JOSPT Cases.
