The secret is out! Well executed traditional treatments that fail on clients with long-standing pain is likely due to a sensitized NS!
-
Q: how do I cater treatment for sensitization?
-
A: start with modern pain science education - once the nervous system@begins to calm - add Gunn IMS!
-
With continued desensitization, you are free to re apply those well meaning exercises. You may find that they actually work, now that the nervous system is less likely to over react.
