The Sensitive Nervous System by David S. Butler

The Sensitive Nervous System is a classic NOigroup text by David S. Butler for clinicians who want a deeper understanding of neurodynamics, pain science and the role of the nervous system in acute and chronic pain states.

The Sensitive Nervous System helps clinicians look beyond isolated joints and muscles. Instead, it encourages a broader view of how the nervous system can contribute to pain, movement, protection, sensitivity and recovery.

Why Clinicians Use This Book

  • Explores how the nervous system can contribute to acute and persistent pain states
  • Supports clinical reasoning for more complex pain and movement presentations
  • Discusses neurodynamic examination and interpretation
  • Connects pain science with physical assessment and treatment planning
  • Includes clinical concepts for both physical and educational care
  • Helps therapists better explain nervous system sensitivity to patients
