Patients don’t have to live in pain!
Studies show patients who have been educated about the neuroscience of pain are able to function better, exercise more and experience less pain.
Adriaan Louw puts the science of pain in a format accessible to all. Pain is normal, living in pain is not. Chronic pain is commonly due to an extra-sensitive nervous system and how the brain processes information from the nerves. Understanding more about the neuroscience of pain has been shown to allow patients to hurt less, exercise more and regain control of their lives.
Why Do I Hurt? teaches patients the science of pain in approachable language with metaphors, examples and images. Written by physiotherapist and clinical neuroscience researcher Adriaan Louw.
