A handbook arising from the last two decades of neuroscience, clinical trials and clinical reasoning science is here for both clinicians and pain sufferers.  Can you name any of the naturally occuring pain killers in your brain?What has the ability to recognise our lefts from our rights got to do with healing?How can a mirror be therapeutic?What are 'mirror neurones' and how can we use them to treat pain? Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) offers a novel three stage synaptic exercise process for neuropathic pain involving left/right discrimination, imagined movements and mirror therapy.
With patience, persistence and often lots of hard work, GMI gives new hope for treatment outcomes.  David Butler shows how curiosity and learning are critical allies in the search for why you or your patients hurt and he encourages a deep knowledge of the therapy and science behind GMI for the best outcomes. Lorimer Moseley shares his researcher's inquisitiveness about the science behind GMI and the neuromatrix: the representation of body parts in our brains and how and why these representations may be affected by injury.
GMI aims to alter pain 'neurotags' or sensitive networks in the brain. Graded motor imagery is a treatment in its infancy. How do we know if it is appropriate to use? How do we know what's normal? Tim Beames invites us on a clinical reasoning exploration through patient-therapist narratives, providing invaluable insights into the progression from left/right discrimination, imagined movements to use of mirrors.

À propos des auteurs

Professor Moseley is a Pain Scientist with a background in physiotherapy, neuroscience and psychophysiology. Lorimer combined his clinical work as a Physiotherapist with research - a PhD at the University of Sydney Pain Management Research Institute and research positions at the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and Oxford University, UK. Lorimer's many appointments include: University of South Australia's Inaugural Chair in Physiotherapy and Professor of Clinical Neurosciences, Chair of PainAdelaide Stakeholders' Consortium, CEO for the non-profit grassroots movement Pain Revolution, director of the newly established Innovation, Implementation & Clinical Translation in Health ('IIMPACT in Health') and is also supported by an NHMRC Leadership Investigator Grant. Associate Professor David Butler, B.
Phty, M. App. Sc, EdD Understanding and Explaining Pain are David's passions, and he has a reputation for being able to talk about pain sciences in a way that everyone can understand. David is a physiotherapist, an educationalist, researcher and clinician. He pioneered the establishment of the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute. David is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of South Australia and an honoured lifetime member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Among many publications, his texts include Mobilisation of the Nervous System 1991 The Sensitive Nervous System (2000), and with Lorimer Moseley, Explain Pain (2003, 2013), The Graded Motor Imagery Handbook (2012), The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer (2015) and in 2017, Explain Pain Supercharged.
His doctoral studies and current focus are around adult conceptual change, the linguistics of pain and pain storytelling. Based in London, Tim is a Principal NOI instructor, travelling globally to present courses and to consult on best practice in hospitals and clinics. Tim is the lead physiotherapist and co-founder of Pain and Performance - an organisation with a special interest in the treatment and education of people suffering complex and persistent pain states.
He is also is the co-owner of Le Pub Scientifique - a live learning organisation/partnership delivering informal events about pain, health and wellbeing in London and Amsterdam. Tim has a Masters in Pain: Science and Society from King's College London, has published book chapters and research on graded motor imagery and body perception, and has written and developed many postgraduate education courses for both Pain and Performance and NOI.
