Moving away from a narrow, outdated focus on isolated structural damage, Dr. Yannick shares how to operationalize the biopsychosocial model using practical, 15-minute digital screening tools. 💭 "Musculoskeletal pain is not only about nociception. It's about nociception, yes, but it's also about nervous system dysfunctions, comorbidities, cognitions, emotions, and contextual factors." - Prof. Yannick Tousignant-Laflamme👉🏻 Prof. Yannick Tousignant-Laflamme is a physiotherapist and Full Professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, where he also earned his Master’s and Ph.D. in Clinical Sciences following a B.Sc. from the University of Ottawa and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Université de Montréal. His research program focuses on improving the quality, value, and patient-centered outcomes of musculoskeletal rehabilitation through three core areas: optimizing low back pain management via his innovative Pain and Disability Drivers Management (PDDM) framework, enhancing chronic pain management through structured patient self-management programs, and personalizing care using prognosis and value-based principles. Additionally, he collaborates internationally to develop and validate clinical assessment tools that help therapists accurately measure pain and functional limitations.📚In this episode, you'll learn:Why standard biopsychosocial care isn't enough, and what the PDDM model does differently to identify the real drivers behind your patient's pain and disabilityHow to screen for the 5 PDDM domains (nociceptive, nervous system dysfunction, comorbidities, cognitive-emotional, and contextual) without adding significant time to your initial assessmentHow to turn a patient's driver profile into an actual treatment plan, and why 91% of LBP patients have nervous system dysfunction elements you're likely missingWhat the research shows about patient outcomes when care is matched to drivers, and how to set realistic expectations with your patients from day one🔎Yannick's Resource of Information:All of Yannick's publications on PubMed 📲 Yannick's contact information:LinkedInWebsite 🎥Link to interview on Youtube  👉 ⁠Share Your Feedback⁠Help Us Build Better Solutions for Your Practice! 🚀 Take 60 seconds to answer 3 quick questions and help us build new paths to make your practice run smoother.🎙Join our ⁠email list⁠ to receive podcast updates📸⁠Instagram⁠ 📱⁠Facebook⁠💻⁠LinkedIn⁠🐦⁠Twitter⁠📩Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠PT Pro Talk Podcast is only possible with the support of forward-looking and innovative companies like Hanna Health⁠ and ⁠SaraHealth⁠.

Dr. Zylstra also breaks down the precise mechanisms of the twitch response and explains why dry needling should never be used as a standalone treatment if we want to avoid creating patient dependency💭 ‘’When we get a good twitch response, that's like plugging a plug into a wall socket; you're getting access to the nervous system. And the language of the nervous system is electricity." - Dr. Edo Zylstra👉🏻 Dr. Edo Zylstra, PT, DPT, is the co-founder of Tactical Physiotherapy and founder of KinetaCare Physiotherapy, with more than 26 years of experience in orthopedic rehabilitation and dry needling.
