Pain management strategies in rehabilitation are typically aimed at reducing or eliminating pain through movement, modalities, and/or manual therapies. These treatments have been generally unsuccessful in relieving pain intensity and may increase pain vulnerability. We posit that human pain modulation is like other body systems that adapt in response to variable conditions, and that the ability to adapt to change or change is a hallmark of an efficient system.

The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how repeated exposure to muscle pain through exercise may result in adaptions in functional brain connectivity and pain recovery in individuals with widespread muscle pain.
