Pain management is emerging as one of the key issues of modern physiotherapy. One of the main difficulties faced in clinical practice is the complexity of translating into terms that are understandable to the patient the physiology of pain, so that patients can become the primary actors in resolving their own symptoms.
Thanks to the initiative of three physiotherapists from New York, the website www.retrainpain.org has been set up to offer physical therapists and patients a free online resource to educate them about pain and its manifestations, in such a way that information on the latest acquisitions in the field is accessible also to the patients themselves.
