I am an Osteopath and after reading Norman Doidge's book on brain healing I approached the concept of neuroplasticity. I knew the influence on pain of fear, catastrophizing, the importance of activating the parasympathetic system etc. I would like to know what I can buy from you to improve my chronic pain management treatments?... What do you propose, if the patient is committed, that takes less time [than some other techniques] to obtain benefits on pain?
How do you utilize PNE after an acute neurological injury such as a stroke, brain injury or spinal cord injury? Can you utilize PNE to help prevent these acute injuries from transitioning to chronic pain conditions?
Are there any new methods for Neuropathy pain in lower extremies?
For the last 25 years I've worked as an Advanced Sports Therapist, Hypnotherapist (nlp) and Teacher/Lecturer. During this time the subject of pain is an integral part of my teaching, within: Sports therapy, Sports massage and Corrective exercise, however, the resources within this area have either been incorrect or unreliable...With this in mind I was wondering how I can use your services within my teaching (and my clinical work) so that I can deliver the best possible Pain-Based-Classes within my work?
