   A very informative book; though I wish there were more visual aids. Otherwise; a great resource for PTs.

   Great book with an evidence-based approach to pain science. I deducted one star because some sections are a bit technical for new PTs.

   As a practicing physical therapist; I have read many books on pain management; but this one stands out. The book does an exceptional job of explaining pain mechanisms in a way that is both detailed and accessible. The integration of evidence-based treatment approaches; particularly for chronic pain syndromes; has transformed the way I approach patient care. I highly recommend this book to both students and professionals in the field of physical therapy.
