In this episode I am joined by Greg Lehman and Andrew Lock to discuss lifting technique/mechanics and it's relevance to low back pain/injury. The research in this area is inconclusive so I've brought Greg and Andrew on to clarify some contentious topics.

Pain is common and vital for survival. Chronic pain, though, is less vital and can significantly impact on the quality of life. Bronnie Thompson, PhD, believes it is possible to lead a fulfilled life in the presence of persistent pain. This is a must-watch/listen for all clinicians and even those who experience pain themselves. The paper we reference is listed below:

Living well with chronic pain: a classical grounded theory

I had a conversation with the wonderful team at E3 rehab about the fuzzy and entrenched diagnostic label that is shoulder impingement. Over the 1 hour episode we discuss the history, inaccuracies and potential negative consequences of the term. This is a must listen if you've wondered why this term is controversial. Please refer to my accompanying Instagram post from February 27 for references mentioned in the episode.

In this episode I talk to Abby Tabor, PhD, on the interesting topic of predictive processing and how it may relate to understanding and explaining pain.

Abby is a physiotherapist who has gone on to become a prolific researcher in the field of active inference/predictive processing. Abby is a product of Lorimer Moseley's lab in Adelaide, Australia and is a clear communicator on this complex topic.

Greg is a renowned physiotherapist and chiropractor and is well known for reconciling biomechanics with pain science, which, coincidentally, is the name of his course!  We talk about pain, the nuances of it, and the potential simplicity in helping people with pain minimise suffering and disability.

The topic of manual therapy and its role in physical therapy always elicits differences of opinion. In this episode, Adam Meakins and Chad Cook tackle the hard questions and attempt to clarify what manual therapy does (and doesn't) and where it fits into contemporary physical therapy care (if anywhere!).
