Managing complex pain presentations is a challenge. How do you adapt traditional approaches, like manual therapy, for modern pain science? Our latest episode of The Modern Pain Podcast with Dr. Steven George can offer you a solution.
👉 Episode Highlights:
•. Manual Therapy's Evolution: Dr. George elaborates on how manual therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution but rather a piece of a broader, evidence-based strategy.

•. Challenges with Traditional Theory: Dr. George questions conventional paradigms, urging clinicians to be wary of outdated models and theories that don't stand up to the rigors of modern science.
•. The Manual Therapy Ritual: Explore Dr. George's perspective on the 'ritual' of manual therapy and why the entire patient experience plays a role in its efficacy.
•. Stratified Care: Gain insight into the limitations of the current stratified care models and the need for a more personalized approach to pain management.
