We're wrapping up the 2023 JOSPT Insights year with a 2-part chat with physiotherapists, researchers and educators, Dr Sam Bunzli (Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia) and Dr JP Caneiro (BodyLogic Physiotherapy, Perth, Australia).

In part 1, we discuss the way that patients understand pain. Dr Bunzli kicks off by summarising the best research evidence, and Dr Caneiro shares some compelling clinical examples to explain how to apply the research to deliver quality musculoskeletal rehabilitation practice.
