I'm not certain where to post this so it might be a bit off topic here but, hopefully, of interest.

At Last! An Effective New Treatment for Chronic Back Pain

"Sensorimotor retraining alters how people think about their body in pain, how they process sensory information from their back, and how they move their back during activities, according to Professor James McAuley from UNSW’s School of Health Sciences, and NeuRA. What we observed in our trial was a clinically meaningful effect on pain intensity and a clinically meaningful effect on disability."

“People with back pain are often told their back is vulnerable and needs protecting. This changes how we filter and interpret information from our back and how we move our back. Over time, the back becomes less fit, and the way the back and brain communicate is disrupted in ways that seem to reinforce the notion that the back is vulnerable and needs protecting. The treatment we devised aims to break this self-sustaining cycle,” he said."

Hi @callalloo - this sure is a helpful post. Treatment that actually promotes body movement and rebuilding neuroplasticity. This is right along the lines of how the Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center treats a multitude of chronic pain conditions including chronic back pain.

Here's more on PRC for those who may be interested-

@callalloo, how are you doing these days? Have you implemented any of the sensorimotor ideas presented in the link you posted last summer?
