Paul Evans: Hello, I’m Paul Evans, and welcome to Airing Pain, a programme brought to you by Pain Concern the UK charity that provides information and support for those who live with pain. Issues covered in this programme include: Understanding pain, physiotherapy, brain signals, education, medical research, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, neuroscience, nervous system, educating health professionals, communicating pain and pain perception. According to Moseley, the evidence shows that learning about your chronic pain can lead to a reduction in the pain you experience. The importance of providing good explanations of pain to those living with it is also looked at.
In this programme Dr Lorimer Moseley, Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and Chair in Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia, explains the relationship between chronic pain and the brain, incorporating personal stories that illuminate this relationship.
