The new way of thinking about Pain

One of my Physio heroes is a guy called Professor Lorimer Moseley and he is from Australia.

His work made me entirely re-evaluate the way I thought about pain and the way I talked about pain to my patients.

Hi work is truly fascinating and he is a great speaker too.

This is his new project, “Tame the beast.” 

                  

When pain becomes persistent, e.g. longer than 3 months, we need to treat if differently from "failed healing."

1 in 4 people will experience "Chronic Pain."

Pain is not an accurate measure of tissue health.

Sometimes, the tissue is not the issue and the joint is not the point.

Rather, pain is a protector against threat. A warning signal if you like.

Your body learns pain, because pain is in the brain.

Don't let pain become a beast.

Remember the difference between Pain and Nociception.

How do we retrain your pain system?
