Rehab 101: Recovery Fundamentals Reconciling Biomechanics and Pain Science (greglehman.ca)

• Reconciles biomechanics and pain science by focusing on active ingredients
• Four components: cognitive restructuring, specific loading, micro & macro management
• Emphasizes fundamentals over trends; adaptable to patient needs

"This article presents a treatment framework that reconciles biomechanics with pain science. It outlines four key components: cognitive restructuring (understanding pain), specific loading (exercise prescription), micro load modification (symptom modification), and macro load management (return to meaningful activities). The focus is on identifying active ingredients in therapies and developing critical thinking for clinical decision-making. Practical applications for common pain conditions such as PFPS, tendinopathy, knee OA, and low back pain are discussed."
