Description

Explain Pain 2nd Edition

Explain Pain 2nd Edition is the foundational pain science book from NOI Group, written by David S. Butler and G. Lorimer Moseley. It is designed to help clinicians, people living with pain, and families better understand how pain works — and why understanding pain can be an important part of recovery.

Pain is always real, but it is not always a direct measure of tissue damage. Explain Pain helps readers explore how pain experiences are shaped by the nervous system, the brain, the immune system, past experiences, beliefs, stress, context, and perceived threat.

Why this book matters

  • Helps make complex pain science easier to understand

  • Explains why pain can persist even when tissues have healed
  • Provides a foundation for modern pain neuroscience education

Who is Explain Pain 2nd Edition for?

This book is widely used by healthcare professionals, educators, students, and people living with pain. It can be read by clinicians as a professional education resource, used during patient education, or recommended to patients and families who want a better framework for understanding pain.

Common readers include

  • Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, physicians, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals
  • People living with persistent, recurring, or complex pain
  • Families and caregivers supporting someone in pain
  • Rehabilitation students and university programs teaching pain science
  • Clinics and hospitals building a shared pain education library

How Explain Pain 2nd Edition is different

Explain Pain 2nd Edition is not a simple exercise book or quick treatment manual. It is a carefully written educational resource that helps readers understand pain through modern neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology, pain science, and real-world clinical stories.

The book helps shift the conversation from “what is damaged?” to “why is my body producing pain?” This can be especially helpful when pain persists longer than expected, moves around, flares unpredictably, or feels out of proportion to scan results or tissue findings.

Good to know

  • This is the core Explain Pain book and a strong starting point for understanding modern pain science.
  • Explain Pain Supercharged is a more advanced companion resource often used by clinicians and educators who want to go deeper.
  • Explain Pain 2nd Edition links well with other NOI resources, including the Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer.
