Sample Introduction

Different ways to enjoy this book:
  • Read it from front to back, like a traditional book.
  • Open to a random page and begin reading. The text is written so that each story can be extracted and enjoyed independently.
  • Use this text as a reference for understanding pain science, graded exposure, movement, posture and more. Through each story, difficult topics such as cortical smudging, neuroplasticity and others are discussed in detail.
  • If you’re a healthcare practitioner, let your patients borrow it to take home!

More Testimonials 

I absolutely love your book! I have been working as clinical faculty in China now for about three years, and I’m finding the idea of pain science to be literally “foreign” in this environment. Your book, especially with the analogies and simple exclamations, provide me with great learning tools for my Chinese PT students and patients. I keep hearing from patients how “professional “we are as clinicians when I use your references. Thank you so much for a great resource!

As a personal trainer and someone who is always concerned about the how's and why's of pain and its signals, Sticks And Stones was a really great read. True to the words of the authors, anyone can read this and find benefit from it but it speaks loudest to those who feel they may never be able to live without pain. As any good book should, it informs and educates but it doesn't replace the hands-on approach of a qualified professional who can help the individual understand more about how to function in every day life without feeling broken.
