Some clarification for this sentence might be good."Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of the symptoms of anxiety" It seems redundant to say that they have anxiety about anxiety, but maybe that is actually what it is.
Perhaps provide a link to the Wikipedia article on anxiety sensitivity because I was confused on the definition before I read a more in depth definition. Or add to the definition of anxiety sensitivity. Sailor4510 ( talk) 15:39, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
"As a result, the individual repeatedly avoids the pain-inducing activity and most likely overestimates any future pain from the activity." This sentence is a little confusing to me, because you talk about the pain-inducing activity as though you have already talked about it before. It seems a little broad to say "The activity."

"The fear-avoidance model (or FA model) is a model that describes how individuals develop chronic musculoskeletal pain as a result of avoidance of activities based on fear." What kind of activities? Physical? Michoupichou ( talk) 15:42, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
I agree^, also minor thing but I think it's a bit redundant to say "The fear-avoidance model (or FA model) is a model that describes how individuals..." I would just say "The fear-avoidance model (or FA model) describes how individuals..." Sailor4510 ( talk)
This part is a bit unclear. Maybe explain what about the research has led some to question its validity? Referencing specific studies or results in this section might be a good way to flesh this topic out.

I completely agree with the above statement. I would recommend adding citations to this section. Sailor4510 ( talk) 16:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
