Pain Reframed is a podcast for physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapy assistants and other health care providers about pain and how pain is managed in our society.  Pain is a large issue right now and we will bring powerful and helpful insights on how we can manage pain in a much more efficient and effective way. Pain Reframed is committed to changing language and practice patterns across disciplines and points of care in order to reduce the unnecessary suffering that results from the propagation of misinformation, insufficient understanding of the pain experience, and the over-medicalization of pain in society. Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore will share their expertise, as well as the expertise from others in the medical and psychological fields, about pain management and our roles in dealing with pain.  We want to create a sustainable, multi-disciplinary, international conversation on pain.

"Has anyone ever explained pain to you?" Rachel Zoffness, PhD, always asks her patients this one question in order to bridge the gap between her patient's understanding of their own pain and what other health care providers have told them about their pain. On today's episode of Pain Reframed, Dr. Zoffness joins Tim Flynn, PT, PHD, OCS, FAAOMPT, and Jeff Moore, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, to discuss her new workbooks that she created to help bridge that education gap that patients have of their understanding of what their pain is telling them about their bodies. Dr. Zoffness wrote these workbooks for her own practice as a psychologist treating adolescents and young adults and is now ready to share this incredible resource with other providers.

On this week's episode Liz and Jeff speak with Dr. Kirsty Bannister, a renowned researcher on conditioned pain modulation, about what we know, what we’re studying, and what we can look forward to in the future of this topic.  Kirsty completed BSc, MRes and PhD degrees at University College London and and Imperial College before returning to UCL for a decade-long postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Professor Anthony Dickenson. In 2017 Kirsty gained her faculty position upon joining King’s College London where she now runs her research group investigating the central modulation of pain. Specifically Kirsty's research team bridges the gap between bench and bedside pain research by conducting exploratory experiments that seek to molecularly, anatomically and/or functionally define descending control pathways in rodent and man using electrophysiology and human psychophysics respectively. Kirsty has led multiple symposia at world pain congresses including IASP and EFIC and she also performs Section Editor duties for multiple pain-related journals.  Links: kirsty.bannister@kcl.ac.uk @bannister_lab Kirsty Bannister's Lab address: Wolfson CARD, King’s College London, London, SE1 1UL @jeffmooredpt @LizPeppin
