Why We Hurt and What We Can Do About It with Lorimer Moseley

About this episode

This episode features Lorimer Moseley discussing his research on pain and the transformative principles of pain management.

Joining us on the show for this episode is one of the world’s leading pain researchers, Lorimer Moseley, PhD. Having spent thirty plus years in his pursuit of understanding pain through the studies of neuroscience, physiotherapy, and pain science, Lorimer is currently a Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and the Foundation Chair in Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia. He’s recently launched his non-profit grassroots movement called ‘Pain Revolution’ which is ensuring that all Australians have access to the knowledge, skills, and local support to prevent and overcome persistent pain.
