The authors' goal for 'Explain Pain' was to empower pain sufferers. In giving them knowledge about the origins and meanings of their pain, about the way their body systems cope and adapt, Butler and Moseley wanted to enable patients to make informed choices about treatments, take responsibility for their recovery and give them a means to conquer their fears and pace themselves back into normal life.
The book’s wide use in pain groups, clinics and homes across the globe suggests that these lofty goals have been well met. Also a great book for students.

All pain is real, and for many people it is a debilitating part of everyday life. It is now known that understanding more about why things hurt can actually help people to understand their pain.
Recent advances in fields such as neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology and cellular biology have provided an explanatory platform from which to explore pain. In everyday language
accompanied by quirky illustrations, Explain Pain discusses how pain responses are produced by the brain: how responses to injury from the autonomic motor and immune systems in your body contribute to pain,
and why pain can persist after tissues have had plenty of time to heal.
Explain Pain aims to give clinicians and people in pain the power to challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens during pain. Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can
follow a scientific route to recovery.
