At Sydney's Convention Centre in Darling Harbour, a group of 25 doctors and other clinicians are gathering outside a pain conference.
They're decked out in lycra, black with fluoro polka dots, and are about to cycle to Wollongong.
Each of these cyclists, nurses and physiotherapists among them, has had to fundraise $3,000 to cover the costs of their ride from Sydney to Albury via Wollongong, Canberra and other stops.
They're also funding the training of a local pain educator in each location.
I'm Anne Arnold and this is The Health Report with a special feature on lower back pain.
At Wollongong, the first stop for the cyclists, the Brain Bus, which is also on the tour, has already set up in a park next to the beach.
The Brain Bus is manned by researchers demonstrating new developments in brain science.
It's the Neuroplasticity Roadshow.
And that's where local physio Deirdre McGee is having her monster robot encounter.
Deidre is wearing a head-mounted display, a screen inside what looks like a snorkelling mask.
And there's potential to apply this to the experience of pain.
Along on the tour is journalist Catherine Raymond, the author of Crooked, the book about the back pain industry.
She's come from San Francisco to learn more about Australia's world-leading research work on the brain and
Katherine Raymond is writing about the brain and pain research for the international science magazine Discover.
The picture shows an activity mountain.
At the peak of the mountain is the injury.
Below it is a large chunk of mountain that's the protective pain zone.
It's often unnecessarily big, and it's something the brain creates, influenced by fear and other factors.
The theory is that you can exercise within that pain buffer.
The pain is not necessarily an indicator that further damage will result.
