Ep 139: Graded motor imagery for managing low back pain, JOSPT Cases

In part 1 of this JOSPT Insights x JOSPT Cases collaboration, clinicians Dr Cody Mansfield, Dr Laura Cutler, and Dr Jake Bleacher review their approach to supporting a patient with chronic low back pain. First, they review the history, clinical assessment, and the interventions performed over the first 2 treatment sessions. Next, the clinical team reviews how they decided when to leave the biomechanical world and when to focus on graded motor imagery and laterality training. Dr Chris Hughes, Editor-in-Chief for JOSPT Cases, introduces the journal. He explains why case reports are important in musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Check out the case report article that is the main subject of today's discussion plus its supplemental material: https://www.jospt.org/doi/full/10.2519/josptcases.2021.9875 Dr Lorimer Moseley on the role of the brain in chronic pain (snake story): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj9CUGzw6fs&t=26s Dr Peter O’Sullivan and “Jack” sharing how Jack regained his life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4gmtpdwmrs&t=214s Understanding pain in less than 5 minutes, and what to do about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3phB93rvI Back pain: separating fact and fiction with Dr Peter O'Sullivan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlSQLUE4brQ The Recognise App from the NOI group: https://www.noigroup.com/product/recogniseapp/
