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

This week's episode takes us back to the Yield tour to cover Pearl Jam's first headlining arena gig in Minnesota. With only a few shows under their belt in the early onset of the Matt Cameron era, the band was starting to figure out their stride with the new, then temporary, drummer. The crowd was red hot for every performance and every hiccup within this set, which led to some surprised reactions from Ed, who didn't have the show in mind as a sleeper show. The big story coming out of this show stemmed from a callback to something that The Who did in their live shows. After years of playing My Generation ad nauseum, they turned the song into a very riffy, blues influenced jam. This is something that Ed, a lifelong Who fan, picked up on and started to utilize during Porch in a similar fashion back around the mid-2000's. This was the first instance where they dabbled in it. We'll talk about the history of both My Generation blues and the slow/riffy Porch intros and how it became a staple for them much later in their live career. We'll also dig into great performances of Brain Of J., Faithfull, Even Flow, Black and very early versions of Pilate and All Those Yesterdays which were rarely played that year. Joining us for this episode is our longtime friend Kirk Walton who we like to call Mr. Minnesota. He'll share his story about the show which included a trip to Mervyn's of California, and we'll also get to chat about the misery that Minnesota sports fans endure.
