In this episode, we have an open discussion with Dr. Don Lalonde, MD, BSc, MSc, FRCSC on pain guided healing and pain guided therapy; how to use the pencil test and apply that to clinical practice; and the variety of ways to use a relative motion orthosis for our patients. Additionally, we touch upon how to incorporate true active flexion following flexor tendon repairs versus place and hold.
