💭”The key here is not education; the key is learning. So, we need to get better at instilling learning.” - Prof. Lorimer Moseley

Our guest, Prof. Lorimer Moseley DSc PhD FACP is is a Bradley Distinguished Professor in Clinical Neuroscience, Foundation Chair in Physiotherapy and CEO of the not-for-profit Pain Revolution. His main interests are persistent pain and other protective feelings and how to best convey modern scientific understanding of chronic pain and similar conditions to consumers, the general public, and health professionals, in a way that is ‘sticky’ and improves outcomes. He has authored over 400 scientific articles and eight books. His foundational discoveries around ‘how pain works’, communication of those discoveries to diverse audiences, and integration of modern pain science into clinical practice, have been recognised by honours in 15 countries, as well as world peak bodies in several fields. His research has transformed practice in chronic pain care internationally, including UK’s National Health Service, USA’s Veterans’ Affairs and European pain management clinical standards. In 2020, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia, that country’s second highest civilian honour, for ‘distinguished service, to humanity at large, in the fields of pain and its management, science communication, education and physiotherapy.’ Lorimer lives and works on Kaurna Land in Adelaide, South Australia.

📚You will learn about:

• The main concepts from his book Explain Pain.

• How understanding why we hurt can contribute to healing.

• What the Protectometer is and how this pain treatment tool helps individuals understand their personal pain formula.

• Educational strategies and principles that clinicians can implement in their practice.

• Expectations for the future of pain neuroscience.
