In this episode we with chat with Dr Joanne Kemp about hip pain, and more specifically about femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We discuss the pathophysiology and morphology, diagnostic criteria, radiographic findings, surgical options, and conservative management best practice.

In this episode Marnin answers all our questions about pain. Some of those questions include the relationship between pain and tissue damage, the difference between pain and nociception, why it's important for clinicians to understand the science of pain, and what the new term 'nociplastic pain' means. Also Marnin tells us what we can expect from his papers that will be published soon. 

In this episode we chat all about pain with Romy. Conversation topics include what pain is, up-to-date terminology of pain (nociplastic vs chronic), the placebo effect/meaning response and the ethics of using it therapeutically, clinical communication, and who is at risk for developing chronic pain, and a lot more!
