PPA Pain Project
Description[edit | edit source]
The Physiotherapy Pain Association (PPA) is the Professional Network of the UK`s Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and part of its recently formed NeuroMusculoskeletal Alliance. It is both pleased and proud to lead this project by supervising development of the Physiopedia Pain section. We are actively forging working relationships with the North British Pain Association (NBPA), The British Pain Society and the World Congress of Physical Therapy (WCPT).
As a project-in-development we intend to populate the site with practical, credible and thought-provoking information on the science of pain, its assessment and management. We very much hope you will watch this space over the coming months and beyond and ultimately find it a useful point of reference…..and if you do, we hope you will guide colleagues towards it!

This really sets the tone for raising the profile and importance of attempting to achieve adequate pain control as a human right......and the piece isnt too cumbersome to read
