Applying neuroscience to athletics and therapy practice

Pain, both acute and chronic, is something that will affect nearly everyone in their lives. However, in the last 50 years, research on pain has revealed many revelations that have changed many approaches to treatment. However, it is still misunderstood which leads to ineffective treatments and unresolved pain. To truly treat pain, we must first truly understand pain. 

Our guest today is Jason Silvernail DPT, DSc, FAAOMPT and we will discuss the integration of modern neuroscience into practice and how practitioners in medicine, physical therapy, athletic training, massage, and personal training can use this information to help them in their practice.

Dr Silvernail has been a practicing physical therapist since 1997. He is a board-certified specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy, and is Fellowship-trained in manual therapy. He holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Scranton, and a Doctor of Science degree from Baylor University. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. A clinician and researcher, he has published clinical commentaries and currently in-press original research in the medical literature, as well as having a prominent professional presence online. Dr Silvernail has a special interest in the basic science of therapy practice, the influence of pain physiology and neuroscience on modern therapy practice, and clinical reasoning in manual therapy.
