042: Complex issues with pain and fear avoidance

Tough To Treat Masterclass: In this episode we have guest PT, Alaina Newell, who presents us with one of her tough male patients with a primary complaint of abdominal issues. Sometimes what our patients present with is only the tip of the iceberg. We clinically reason through the evaluation but move very quickly into diagnosis and movement. It is interesting how the story of this complex case unfolds over time. We brainstorm some great treatment ideas and various ways to change this gentlemen's fear avoidance. This is a fascinating story that can teach us all a lesson that healing is very individual. Visit our website at www.toughtotreat.com
