Written Resources

Greg Lehman “Recovery Strategies”. Here is a 10 page excerpt PDF most relevant to today’s session- START with this Pain- Greg Lehman, 10 page Excerpt. (If you want the whole 71pg document it’s here:  https://www.greglehman.ca/pain-science-workbooks)

One of the most famous books about this topic is EXPLAIN PAIN by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley.  Available for purchase in hard copy or PDF at http://noigroup.com

The great companion workbook to Explain Pain is The Protectometer.  This helps work through your “DIMs and SIMs”.  Also available as an iPad app, Beleura usually has copies available in clinic. You DON’T necessarily need Explain Pain to accompany this book. http://www.noigroup.com/en/Product/EPHPB
