Podcasts about pain science

In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Mark Kargela, a seasoned clinician and educator, about chronic pain—its complexity, its impact, and how practitioners can better support patients struggling with it. The discussion focuses on shifting clinical approaches from tissue-centric models to ones that integrate contemporary neuroscience and lived experience. Key topics include: Understanding Chronic Pain: The conversation defines chronic pain not simply by duration (e.g., beyond three months), but as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that fundamentally changes the nervous system. Dr. Kargela emphasizes that chronic pain is often not a direct marker of tissue damage, but a protective output of the nervous system influenced by biology, psychology, and social factors. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE): Both clinicians stress the importance of PNE in helping patients reframe their pain experience. Teaching people how pain works can reduce fear and catastrophizing, improve self-efficacy, and set the foundation for graded movement and recovery. Central Sensitization and Nervous System Dysregulation: The discussion highlights how sensitized neural pathways can perpetuate pain even in the absence of tissue pathology. Techniques that modulate the nervous system—such as breathing, sleep optimization, gentle movement, and mindfulness—are presented as key therapeutic tools. Limitations of Traditional Biomedical Models: Dr. Kargela critiques overly mechanical approaches that chase tissue “damage” or perfect biomechanics, advocating instead for approaches that validate patient experiences and support behavior change. Clinician Takeaways: The episode encourages health and fitness professionals to: Ask better questions that uncover contributors to a person's pain narrative. Shift from “fixing” people to coaching them toward resilience. Recognize that empathy, listening, and patient-led goals are central to helping people move forward.

Kieran McNally's journey from the Irish military to private practice is anything but ordinary. After years of working hands-on with athletes and patients, he realized traditional approaches weren't always enough. That led him on a deep dive into the science of pain, the brain, and how communication plays a vital role in healing. We talk about his book, Pain and the Survivor Brain, and why understanding pain as a form of communication can change everything for both patients and practitioners. Kieran breaks down why people stay stuck in chronic pain, how the healthcare system often fails them, and what clinicians can do to truly help. If you've ever been frustrated with pain management—whether as a patient or a provider—this conversation will give you a whole new perspective.Learn more about our guest at:https://www.amazon.com/Pain-Survival-Brain-Holistic-Approach-ebook/dp/B0CP5142N8https://www.kieranmcnally.net/info@kieranmcnally.netCheck out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance:https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Today's episode is a follow-up on last week's pain science episode, so make sure to check that one out at the following link before diving into this week's episode.  In today's episode, we look at the pain loop and how sensory messages (afferent messages) ascend up the spinal cord to the brain and then create efferent responses (movement, pain stress) that descend back down the spinal cord to relevant regions of the body and muscles that will help the person move away from dangerous stimuli. This episode also addresses the three major types of pain (nociceptive, neuropathic and chronic) and how we think about treating these types of pain. I hope you find this episode to be helpful! As always, my book has comprehensive programs for the 50 most common pain issues and injuries. Each body region has its own chapter and all of the programs have pictures of me doing the exercises. Click the following Amazon link to learn more about my book. 

In today's episode, I introduce the science of pain and what current research has taught us about the physiology of pain. Whether you are a practitioner or someone experiencing pain, this episode will help you better manage painful symptoms. When we understand pain at a deeper level, we are able to identify the factors in our own lives that may be contributing to the pain we experience. Factors such as, sleep (quantity and quality), nutrition, stress levels, exercise and our beliefs about pain can greatly impact how we feel and how much pain we experience. Thank you for listening to this episode! I hope you find it to be helpful. If you are suffering from a painful condition, my book could be a great resource for you. It has rehab programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues and each body region has its own chapter. Each program has pictures of me doing the exercises and guides you through three phases of rehab. If you want to learn more about my book, click this Amazon link.

We're back with another trio episode, and in this one, the hosts dig deeper into the Trex-lore. Eric Trexler has been training since his early youth, but only recently has he struggled with his fitness, and health and even had to rethink who he is as a lifter, due to lingering pain. Pain and injury are complex and multifaceted, but the body is resilient and often heals itself with time. But what can you do when nothing seems to work? When you seemingly can't change your circumstances the only thing left is to change your perspective. Join us in this episode as the hosts share these perspectives, with a collective experience of over 50 years under the bar.

Episode Summary:In this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast, host Mark Kargela is joined by Brett Neilson, a physical therapist and professor at Hawaii Pacific University. Recorded live at the Pain Science in Motion conference in Las Vegas, the episode delves into the crucial intersection between sleep and chronic pain management. Brett shares insights from his scoping review on the integration of sleep measures in chronic low back pain research, highlighting a significant gap in current practices. The conversation covers the impact of sleep on pain, the role of wearables, and practical advice for clinicians on how to incorporate sleep assessments and interventions into their practice. Brett emphasizes the importance of understanding individual sleep needs and using tools like the CBTI Coach app to help patients improve their sleep quality.CBT-i Coach App Scoping Review TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Episode begins00:01:43 Interview Start00:02:53 Brett's Work on Sleep00:05:04 What did they find in their systematic reveiw?00:08:25 Clinical pearls gained in pre-conference course00:10:43 What apps or tools are out there for clinicians?00:13:46 Can tracking sleep excessively become anxiety generating?00:14:57 How do we determine the right amount of sleep for the individual?00:19:47 Mindulness or meditation for sleep00:23:12 How do we get this in curriculum?00:26:20 How do we get this as every day practice?00:31:59 Sleep as a part of the big picture in painKey Takeaways:Sleep and Chronic Pain Connection: There is a strong link between poor sleep and chronic pain. Addressing sleep issues can potentially alleviate pain symptoms.Research Findings: A scoping review revealed that less than 10% of chronic low back pain trials include sleep measures, highlighting an area for improvement in research practices.Role of Wearables: While wearables can provide useful sleep data, they should be used cautiously to avoid causing anxiety. It's best to view sleep data in the context of long-term trends rather than daily fluctuations.Screening and Interventions: Simple questions about sleep quality can help identify patients who may benefit from further sleep assessment. Tools like the CBTI Coach app, developed by the VA, can assist clinicians in guiding patients through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.Individualized Approach: Quality of sleep is more important than quantity. Clinicians should tailor their recommendations based on the individual needs and experiences of their patients.Practical Tips for Clinicians: Incorporate basic sleep questions into patient assessments, use validated sleep measures, and educate patients on sleep hygiene practices. Encourage patients to find relaxation strategies that work for them, whether it's mindfulness, reading, or other calming activities.Educational Integration: Teaching about sleep and its impact on health should be integrated into PT education to better prepare future clinicians.*********************************************************************

Welcome to Episode 67 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel and Sarah discuss what current science, versus outdated advice and conventional wisdom, have to say about the causes and solutions for sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain. Learn what research says about whether or not the SIJ is an inherently robust or fragile structure, whether things like lots of stretching in yoga or joint laxity during pregnancy contribute to its instability, and what therapists can and cannot reliably know about the causes of SIJ pain.You will learn: The anatomy and biomechanics of the SIJ. How Sarah differentiates between low back pain and SIJ pain with her patients. What joint incongruency is and what therapists can and cannot know about joints through palpation. What amount of force is required to dislocate the SIJ. What SIJ form and force closure are, and how they are used to explain SIJ pain. Some common explanations, assessments, and treatments for SIJ pain that lack evidence. Why muscle testing is an unreliable way to assess muscle strength or weakness. The problem with muscle imbalance theories. How upper and lower cross syndrome theories —the idea that muscles can be “locked short” and “locked long”— has since been replaced by more contemporary research. What evidence-based tools we have to address SIJ pain.And more!Sign up here to get on the Wait List for our next Bone Density Course in October 2024!

How do you approach evaluating psychological health factors when working with people in pain? Do you have an established process for screening? How about an approach to managing the psychological aspects of injury and health? Athletes say they would like psychological support, while many musculoskeletal rehabilitation clinicians feel ill-equipped to provide appropriate support. What to do?! Fortunately, Dr Kate Jochimsen (ATC, PhD; Massachusetts General Hospital) is leading a research program geared towards developing and evaluating mind-body interventions for chronic hip pain, and she addresses some of the clinical challenges in today's episode. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Psychologically-informed practice when managing sports injuries: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37647239/ More on the prevalence of hip morphology in athletes: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2021.9622 Physiotherapist-led treatment for hip-related pain: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31732651/ ------------------------------ Find out more about the Pain Science in Practice courses delivered by Prof Lorimer Mosley: https://tinyurl.com/25kzcfmh Direct links for each of the North American Pain Science in Practice courses: Vancouver, Canada (27-28 September, 2024): https://clinicalsportsmedicine.com/lorimer-moseley San Francisco, USA (5-6 October, 2024): https://www.noigroup.com/event/pain-science-in-practice-moseley-san-francisco/ New York City, USA (12-13 October, 2024): https://www.noigroup.com/event/pain-science-in-practice-moseley-nyc/

A lot of things have changed since we started the Healing Pain Podcast five years ago. From our conversations with leading names in the pain management and related fields, we have gone down the rabbit hole of no return, exposing us to the wide, wonderful, and in many ways, untamed world of pain science. What exactly is pain science? There is a lot to unpack about this concept, and we're excited to announce that that is going to be the focus of this podcast moving forward. In this episode, Dr. Joe Tatta, PT, DPT, announces the rebrand from Healing Pain Podcast to Pain Science Education Podcast. He explains the rationale behind the move and the new direction this whole initiative is taking. Exciting things are on the horizon starting this year, and it all starts here.

 Happy Holidays ! Enjoy this best of replay of my discussion with Colleen Jorgensen about how we interpret chronic pain science.Welcome back to the work in everyone. There are so many frustrating things about health and wellness information. As fitness professionals and coaches we watch for the latest information in science and do our best to curate and explain it to our clients and students. As consumers of that information, it can be so confusing to try to understand what the latest science actually means for our day to day lives, and for a topic as complex as chronic pain, that becomes even more challenging. On the one hand, it's great to get new science, new understanding about the body and the nervous system so we can make the best choices in our care. On the other hand, what does that mean for everything that we knew before? does it all go out the window? How do we how do we integrate that new understanding of pain care science in meaningful ways, and share it when it comes to posture, alignment and movement therapy? My friend Colleen Jorgensen reached out to me a few weeks ago with this question as a topic for the podcast. And I thought it was a really great idea. I love bringing clarity to topics like this and I always learned so much from Colleen. She's been on the podcast before. We've talked about chronic pain, the nervous system pain care where language and the importance of professional communication skills. She's an osteopath, the yoga Pilates instructor and a teacher trainer was specialties in pain care where language among many other skills and she is the one I trust to help translate some of this new information. I am thrilled to have Colleen back on the podcast to talk more about this topic. And I think in the course of the conversation, we can find new ways to evaluate other areas of health and wellness science as well. So let's start our work. In with Colleen Jorgensen. Welcome back Colleen.It's time to stop working out and start working IN. You found the Work IN podcast for fit-preneurs and their health conscious clients.

In this episode I had the opportunity to sit down with Mitchell Tanner, an expert in physical therapy and a coach. Mitchell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy & a Strength Coach. He has worked with everyone from professional athletes to everyday people. His remote coaching is very person centered, focusing on the whole person and not just their goals or the pain they're experiencing.Our in-depth discussion revolved around the crucial role of understanding pain and injury in athletic performance. Mitchell shed light on the common fears and misconceptions surrounding pain, highlighting the vital importance of empathy and compassion in the rehabilitation journey.We explored the importance of focusing on each step of the recovery process rather than fixating on the final goal. This balance between enduring discomfort and recognizing when to rest is essential for athletes. Additionally, we delved into the significance of proper technique in enhancing performance and addressed the limitations of relying exclusively on biomechanics to explain pain.Mitchell also shared his expertise in remote rehab coaching, emphasizing load management and personalized training plans. This episode is packed with valuable insights for athletes, coaches, health professionals, and anyone interested in the dynamics of pain management and recovery in sports. It's a must-listen for those seeking to deepen their understanding of athletic performance and the psychology of healing.Get In Touch With Mitch: https://www.instagram.com/coach.mitch.dpt/Contact Me: justin@assembleperformance.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/justinsjones/Website: https://assembleperformance.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@justinjonesfitness

Chris sat down with Paul Ingraham to discuss his views on the overemphasis of the psychosocial aspect of the BPS model, the value of the biological, achilles tendinopathy versus tendinitis, chronic pain, advice on how to interpret research, and much more. Paul is a Vancouver science writer and a former Registered Massage Therapist. He left that profession over concerns about pseudoscientific beliefs and practices, and went on to create PainScience.com, a website about the science of pain, injury, treatment, and rehab, where he has published hundreds of articles and ten books on these themes, the most successful of which is his guide to the tricky topic of "trigger points."

As teachers, we have the amazing opportunity to create spaces where growth, freedom, safety, and a spirit of play can thrive! Today, we embark on an in-depth exploration of pain as a complex phenomenon. Pain is a manifestation of the intricate processes within the nervous system, which processes information from various sources. Everything, from the minutest detail of ensuring our clients feel safe and cared for to the language we employ and even our grounded presence as instructors, collectively influences how the nervous system perceives stimuli, ultimately determining whether pain is triggered. Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to the first guest on the podcast, Colleen Jorgensen! Colleen is an osteopath, athletic therapist, pain care educator, speaker, and Therapeutic Pilates, Yoga, and somatic teacher. Having endured a decade of pain herself, Colleen possesses firsthand knowledge of its challenges. And, after sensing a void in available resources, she introduced "Dare to Heal," an indispensable online program tailored to teach those in pain to help themselves. Join the conversation as we hear about how a spinal cord compression issue changed her life, why we must understand that pain does not equal damage, why mindful language matters in our teaching, why we should emphasise play in our classes, and so much more! Don't miss out on this episode, so start listening now! Key Points From This Episode:Colleen highlights what brought her to movement in the very beginning.She delves into the evolution, taking the functionality of Pilates and incorporating it into rehab.How a spinal cord compression issue changed Colleen's life.Why we as teachers must understand that pain is not the same as damage.We dive into the discussion on the narrative of “Pain means damage” and normalising pain.Three things to check in with if students or clients have pain during movement. From the teacher's perspective: two things to understand (and do).Colleen explains how the body produces pain and why that is relevant: danger vs. safety.The importance of creating a safe space where people are seen, heard, and respected.How to change the perception of pain being exclusively viewed as a biomechanical issue.She illustrates the power of empowerment when someone feels pain in class.We discuss why mindful language matters in our teaching and cues. We emphasise how (and why) play is a key element of creating safety in our classes.Colleen shares her best teaching tip.Let go of the need to look perfect at the front of the class; let your injuries be seen, teachers! Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Colleen Jorgensen — https://www.colleenjorgensen.org/ Colleen Jorgensen Email — coljorgensen13@gmail.com Colleen Jorgensen on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/c/ColleenJorgensenStillnessInMotion Colleen Jorgensen on Facebook — https://web.facebook.com/stillnessinmotionwithcolleen/ Colleen Jorgensen on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/_stillnessinmotion/  Interpreting chronic pain science with Colleen Jorgensen — https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/interpreting-chronic-pain-science-with-colleen-jorgensen/id1547693412?i=1000619120800 Free Ebook – 100 Pilates Class Themes:

The more we study pain and pain management, the more we realize how much power the person experiencing the pain has over their own experience and healing. This is why our job as practitioners is not to be the solution for our patients, but to help them find the solution for themselves. This powerful perspective is brought to us by Dillon Caswell, PT, DPT, SCS, a groundbreaking expert on using hope as a therapeutic intervention for chronic pain. In this episode, we learn how hope can easily be one of the most effective salves to pain that we have access to. This is not the passive yearning that we often associate with the word “hope”. This is something much more powerful, and it may be the thing that makes a difference in your practice or in your life. Tune in to learn more!

In today's episode, we're delving into a topic that's close to my heart: the incredible power of the nervous system and how it shapes our experiences of pain and healing. As a nervous system coach, I've witnessed countless transformations in people's lives as they embark on the path of healing through understanding and harnessing the incredible wisdom of their nervous systems. In this episode, we're going to explore the mind-boggling world of the biopsychosocial lens and how it can empower us to conquer chronic pain. Key Takeaways from Episode 66: -We dive deep into the biopsychosocial approach and how it revolutionizes our understanding of pain. -I explain phantom limb pain and how it explains how pain can be created without physical damage. -How pain perception is much more than just physical sensation. -How your emotions influence your pain perception. We explore how shifting from fear to joy can impact your physical experience of pain -Negative thought patterns, catastrophizing, and perfectionism can amplify chronic pain. We'll uncover how these tendencies are often trauma responses and can be reshaped. -I discuss the incredible power of reprogramming your subconscious mind. When you change your beliefs, you change your life, and yes, that includes your experience of pain. Understanding the biopsychosocial lens isn't just about healing your pain; it's about evolving your brain and taking charge of your life. Dive into the literature, educate yourself, and remember: you have the power to reprogram your subconscious mind. Today is the final day to enroll in my signature program, the Health Transformation Accelerator. This is your golden opportunity to supercharge your path to healing chronic illness. If you're ready to take a quantum leap in your healing journey and want to work directly with me, this is it. But time is running out.

Episode at a glance:Relation to autoimmune arthritis: Dr. Furlan is a physician at a pain clinic, a scientist at the rehab institute, and assistant faculty at the University of Toronto. She is a physiatrist who specializes in pain.Understanding Pain: Dr. Furlan explains how pain science is continually advancing and more information about how the brain processes pain is being discovered. There are different types of pain, and multiple systems in the body involved with the sensation/perception of pain.Your pain is valid: Some people might not see your pain, and you may be stigmatized, but what you say is pain, IS pain. If other people say you're not in pain, it's because they don't understand the pain system.Language around pain: The words we use about pain can make a difference too. Cheryl and Dr. Furlan discusses different ways of approaching words like “conquer” or “defeat” in the context of living with a painful autoimmune condition.8 steps for living better with pain: Dr Furlan explains strategies for exercise, sleep and more. For example, she recommends breaking up exercise into smaller “snacks” or movement breaks. She also shares the importance of quality sleep is important too, since it gives you energy for other lifestyle factors. Investigate if you have a treatable sleep condition (like sleep apnea), and then address your sleep hygiene/routines - including making sure you're not sleeping too little or too much. Lifestyle factors are often interconnected, and taking care of your mental health and nutrition can also support sleep and exercise.Dr. Furlan's best advice for newly diagnosed: Doing it alone is HARD. Find support, someone knowledgeable who's climbed their mountain or helped others do it, who've traveled this road before - they can be your guide.Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

We don't all strive for elite physical performance, but we do all place demands on our bodies. Some of the internal signals that we receive as a result could be interpreted as pain, so how do we know when we should push through and when we should pull back? We have talked in previous episodes about the complex phenomenon of pain, and how deeply enmeshed our perception of pain is with our beliefs and previous experiences. Today that conversation continues with host Rachel and returning guest and Doctor of Physical Therapy Marnie Hartman.

Follow Sam Visnic @releasemuscletherapy Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability. Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience. He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness. The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we're not as relaxed as we think we are. That's why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it's because they're actually relaxed and they've forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life. Sam describes how creating deep change isn't harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills. Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals. People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out! Lastly, Sam highlights the benefits of hypnotherapy in treating chronic pain.
