In this episode, Glyn and Konrad continue to talk to Julia Smith, specialist physiotherapist, and Anne Marie van Es, specialist occupational therapist. Both of them work at the Oxford Centre for Children and Young People in Pain (OXCYPP). They discuss the evidence base for their work, pacing in some depth, when to stop seeing patients, the difference between functional and biomechanical outcomes and dealing with complex patients. They also explain why they enjoy working with pain patients.
