Book Testimonial"Drs. Jarod Hall and Jim Heafner do a wonderful job explaining the multi-factorial experience of pain in a relatable way for the average reader and healthcare professional alike. I could not help but think of past and present patients that would benefit from reading some of the analogies and sections of the book. Sticks and Stones is a valuable resource for clinicians to learn about pain and improve their communication skills as well as a brilliant teaching tool and reference for patients. This book should be in every rehabilitation clinic."

Book TestimonialAs the owner of OPTIM we have found great value in the sticks and stones ebook. We have incorporated many of the analogies and ideas into our fellowship, COMT, and PTA pain science curriculum. Jim and Jarod do a great job helping people understand and articulating the complex topics such as neuroplasticity, graded exposure, and the biopsychosocial aspects of pain. If you're looking for a resource to better communicate why patients are having pain and musculoskeletal problems, this is the best I have found. EVERYONE should get a copy of the Sticks and Stones ebook to better help explain.
