The book takes an integrated approach to pain rehabilitation and combines pain science, rehabilitation and yoga with evidence-based approaches from respected contributors. They demonstrate how to integrate the concepts, philosophies and practices of yoga and pain science in working with people in pain. An essential and often overlooked part of pain rehabilitation is listening to, working with, learning from, and validating the person in pain's lived experience. The book expounds on the movement to a more patient-valued, partnership-based biopsychosocial-spiritual model of healthcare where the patient is an active and empowered participant, as opposed to a model where the healthcare provider is 'fixing' the passive patient. It also explains how practitioners can address the entire human being in pain, and how to include the person as an expert for more effective and self-empowered care.
 
Market: The market is all rehabilitation professional groups working with pain: yoga therapists, physical therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, MDs, all healthcare practitioners and researchers who want to better understand pain and how yoga as a mind/body practice works with pain.
A refreshing holistic approach to pain care which integrates a biopsychosocial framework for managing pain and moving through life with more grace and freedom. Yoga provides a valuable lens for compassionate curiosity towards the experience of pain and what else might be possible.
