Where do you start with a client with complex regional pain that has full-body implications? Listen to their story, look for the change talk, and gain active participation by allowing them to lead the way in a judgment-free zone. Sometimes, clients know what they need to do, they just don't know how to implement the changes and find simple action steps. Join us as we talk about this interesting case of a surgeon hijacked by his work environment, which has accumulated several body system symptoms from GI dysfunction, neural tension, pain, and pressure system dysfunction.
