IMO, there is a place for hands on treatment to help a person suffering persistent pain.
Touch is soothing.
Touch can relieve.
There are different techniques we can show people to use upon themselves or to include loved ones who don’t know what to do.

1. You can start somewhere that is not sensitive, or at least less sensitive, using mild pressure.
Observe how the person responds - twitches, change in breathing, utterances etc., to get the right level.
Notice the calming, soothing effects.

2. We can use mild pressure touch on ourselves to soothe and create calm.
This would then be a better state for movement.
In other words, we prime ourselves to move better.

3. Skilful handling can create evidence that movement is ok, safe, or even pleasurable.
There’s no need to push, over-stretch or move quickly.
Gentle, rhythmic movements within an easy range, within the window of tolerance can soothe.
In time, the range increases. No rush.
