Rehab is all about getting the load juuust right ∞
A weekly nugget or two of pain science news and ideas for patients and pros, usually 400–1000 words. The blog is the “director’s commentary” on the core content of PainScience.com: a library of major articles and books about common painful problems and popular treatments. See the blog archives or updates for the whole site.
Scot Morrison, PT, DPT, CSCS, smartypants:
The management of load represents a key component of what the physiotherapist or athletic trainer does. Once the clinician establishes the need for some form of physiological adaptation, the primary clinical question becomes one of dosage.
This is a dense but excellent and polished article for professionals (for some of the same concepts pitched to patients, see Progressive Training). Nice to see Scot go straight to Dr. Dye’s patellofemoral syndrome research, which has been a major influence for me for a decade.
