    #47: Active Inference, Pain, and Movement with Dr Mervyn Travers

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, Dr Jared Powell sits down with Dr Mervyn Travers, physiotherapist, S&C coach, and researcher, to explore one of the most compelling frameworks in contemporary pain science: active inference. They discuss how this predictive brain model helps explain persistent musculoskeletal pain, why traditional exercise-based interventions might miss the mark, and how clinicians can use movement and context to shift a patient's pain experience. Merv blends philosophy, neuroscience, and clinical pragmatism in a way that's accessible, challenging, and highly relevant. Key talking points: What is active inference and how does it relate to predictive processing? The role of prior beliefs, culture, and clinical language in shaping pain Movement experimentation as a tool for model updating and recovery Why it's time to rethink how we prescribe exercise in pain rehab Clinical implications from landmark studies within the field that lend themselves to active inference A call for compassion, curiosity, and nuance in patient care Check out the Shoulder Physio Online Course here Connect with Jared and guests: Jared on Instagram: @‌shoulder_physio Jared on X: @‌jaredpowell12 Merv website: Home - Optimise Rehab Merv X: @‌mervtravers Merv Instagram: @‌optimise_rehab See our Disclaimer here: The Shoulder Physio - Disclaimer

    In this episode, Jared Powell sits down with Professor Gordon Guyatt, the physician and researcher who coined the term evidence-based medicine (EBM). They unpack the origins of EBM, why it's often misunderstood, and how it continues to shape modern healthcare. Rather than being rigid or formulaic, EBM is about integrating the best evidence with clinical expertise and—crucially—patient values and preferences.

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, I am interviewed by my wife, Tara, about my recently completed PhD. For the past 7 years of my life I have been engaged in a research based PhD investigating the causal mechanisms underpinning the effectiveness of exercise therapy for rotator cuff related shoulder pain. This research program has produced 6 published pieces of research that is contained with the thesis. In this episode I briefly discuss the premise of the thesis, its main findings, and recommendations for future research. I also gives some tips and tricks and to prospective PhD or current PhD students which may help their journey.

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, I am joined by Rich Willy, PhD to discuss bone stress injuries. Rich is one of the foremost experts in the world on bone stress injuries, and it was a real pleasure to sit down with him for an hour to chat all things bone. Bone stress injuries can be quite common in athletic populations and the consequences of a poorly managed bone stress injury can be severe. As such, it is so important to be able to accurately detect a bone stress injury, know how to manage it, and give appropriate advice and education around what causes it and what is their probably prognosis.

    We're constantly told, even lectured, about the importance of exercise for most non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain presentations, shoulder pain included. We assume it works for all people across time and space, but is this true? Are there factors that might influence whether exercise will help an individual with shoulder pain or not? What are these factors and can we influence them? Listen on to hear Emily and Andrew from The Knowledge Exchange interview me about these very interesting questions. Key Papers: 1.

    #31: Uncertainty doesn't prevent action

    Every iconic scientist has a quote emphasising the importance of uncertainty and doubt that underpins the scientific attitude. This holds true as much for fundamental physics and biological science as it does for health science, probably far more so in the case of health science. For we are complex, non-linear creatures, each with different stories, backgrounds, contexts and circumstances. Because of this, clinical uncertainty is ubiquitous, it's everywhere, but this should not paralyse us according to my guest on this episode, Nathalia Costa, PhD. Enjoy.

    In this episode, I discuss the scapula with Filip Struyf, PhD. We attempt to answer the measurement error question and how this influences everything thereafter! After all, if we can't accurately measure something it becomes impossible to prove the validity and lacks any utility in clinical practice. Ready to arm yourself (pardon the pun!) with actionable strategies for assessment and treatment to use immediately in the clinic to improve patient outcomes and quality of life?
