Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer
The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer is a practical pain science workbook from NOI Group, written by G. Lorimer Moseley and David S. Butler. It is designed for people experiencing pain and can also be used by clinicians as a helpful patient education resource.
This handbook introduces the Protectometer, a pain treatment and education tool that helps readers explore their own personal pain formula. It focuses on identifying things that increase perceived danger — called DIMs, or Danger in Me — and things that increase perceived safety — called SIMs, or Safety in Me.
Official Canadian Distributor
The Physio Store is the official Canadian distributor for NOI Group products. We support Canadian clinicians, clinics, universities, hospitals, schools, and professional organizations with access to NOI books, resources, and educational products.
Why this handbook is useful
- Helps people explore their own pain experience in a structured way
- Introduces DIMs and SIMs in clear, approachable language
- Works as a practical companion to Explain Pain 2nd Edition
- Can be used by clinicians during pain education sessions
- Supports reflection, discussion, and personalized pain recovery planning
What is the Protectometer?
The Protectometer is a practical framework for looking at the many things that may influence pain. Instead of viewing pain only through tissue damage, the Protectometer helps readers consider the full picture: body signals, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, stress, activity levels, social factors, previous experiences, and other cues that may increase either danger or safety.
By identifying DIMs and SIMs, readers can begin to understand why pain may flare, why it may settle, and what areas they may be able to influence over time.
Key concepts covered
- DIMs: Danger in Me — things that may increase the nervous system’s sense of threat
- SIMs: Safety in Me — things that may increase confidence, calm, support, or protection
- Personal pain formula: understanding how different factors may contribute to pain
- Recovery strategies: practical ways to build more safety and reduce threat
Who is this book for?
The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer is written for people experiencing pain, especially those dealing with persistent, recurring, or complex pain. It is also a useful tool for healthcare professionals who want a practical workbook to support pain education conversations with patients.
Common uses
- Patient education for persistent or chronic pain
- Clinical pain science discussions
- Home reflection between therapy appointments
- Group education programs or pain management classes
- A companion resource for readers of Explain Pain 2nd Edition
How it fits with Explain Pain 2nd Edition
The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer can be used as a stand-alone resource, but it also pairs well with Explain Pain 2nd Edition. Explain Pain 2nd Edition provides the broader pain science foundation, while the Protectometer Handbook gives readers a more personal, workbook-style way to apply those ideas to their own pain experience.
Best way to choose
- Choose Explain Pain 2nd Edition if you want the foundational pain science book.
- Choose The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer if you want a practical workbook for applying pain science personally.
- Choose both if you want the theory and the practical reflection tool together.
