Use provocative testing to identify pain triggers

Purposefully provoke pain to identify the mechanical cause; if pain cannot be provoked mechanically, that suggests a non-mechanical component.

Then we go and assess them and it begins with what we call provocative testing. I'm purposefully provoking their pain. If I can provoke their pain, I've nailed the mechanic. If I can't provoke it, it's not mechanical.
