I'm struggling with the definition of Nociplastic Pain. It doesn't preclude the existence of peripheral nociception but hinges on our definition of "damage".

For eg, Could we call tendinopathy nociplastic pain?

Is tendinosis damage? If not, then its nociplastic

Why does pain often last LONG after healing should be done? Why do 20-year-old ankle sprains still throb & twinge?

We may finally know! Willemen et al.: “mitochondrial and metabolic disturbances in sensory neurons.”

Pain science is complex, what is your go-to elevator pitch to explain how manual therapy works if a patient (who is currently receiving it from you) asks?

Looking for the best simple, short and intellectually honest one

A patient who reports 11 out of 10 pain is really telling you they’re petrified that you won’t understand the impact their pain is having on them.

They’re not mad or bad with maths. They’re just scared you won’t listen.

Time to share some 'OPEN ACCESS' gold.

This beauty is 4 years old but is a great introduction to the research around the impact of msk clinicians' words/messages on clinical outcomes.

@Sara_BruGarcia This is from my textbook, which I guess is as good an intro as any: https://t.co/ZfmmU31GNy For a deeper dive, if you already know the basics, I recommend the references in that chapter - those are the papers I think are worth reading.

I am interested in learning more about rapid approaches to qualitative research (not in the place of other methods; just to add to my methodological toolbox). Do you have any favorite articles? Sharing the ones I've been reading below.

[Benjamin Rosenbaum @b_rosen_baum]

I’m never getting tired of annoying my coauthors, course participants and consultees in suggesting to fit a statistical model to simulated data first, before you unleash it on experimental or field data. Happy to see these 3 recent articles in my favor. ⬇️
