Click, a prominent CS pain researcher is Lorimer Moseley. He is both a physical therapist and neuroscientist. He and his co-author (also a physical therapist) advocate increasing one's activity but only gradually (what they call "graded exposure"). However, they do not view increasing one's activity as sufficient by itself. They say one also should understand why central sensitization occurs and, closely related to that, why the pain does not mean you are damaging or about to damage your body.
If you would like to learn more about their perspective and have a spare $36, I recommend purchasing their book The Explain Pain Handbook Protectometer from Amazon. They get into technical neurological details regarding CS in their book Explain Pain (2nd edition), also available on Amazon at a pricey $95. And they get super technical in their latest book, Explain Pain Supercharged, which I would not recommend unless you really enjoy neuroscience.
