The Massage Therapist's Guide to Pain, Touch and Perception reframes how touch therapists understand and work with pain. Drawing on modern pain science, Ruth A. Duncan challenges traditional tissue-focused explanations and instead presents pain as a protective output of the brain shaped by biology, emotion, memory, and context.

The author explains key concepts such as nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain; the biopsychosocial model; and how the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems interact in persistent pain.
Readers are introduced to the Neuromatrix Theory, Mature Organisms Model, and Neuro Signatures and to the powerful role of language in the therapeutic relationship. Complex neuroscience is translated into clear, clinically relevant ideas for massage therapists, myofascial practitioners and manual therapist.

Rather than positioning the therapist as a 'fixer of broken tissues,' the book invites a more collaborative, person-centred approach that honours both scientific evidence and lived experience, helping practitioners support clients with persistent pain more safely and effectively.
