Recorded live on Tuesdays at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association Facebook Page and also streamed live to YouTube, host Matt Phillips (creator of Runchatlive) brings guests from the Sports Therapy industry to answer YOUR questions and discuss topics chosen by YOU. In Ep.51 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast (recorded live the slightly LATER time of 9pm UK), we are absolutely honoured to bring you the inspirational Dr Rachel Zoffness, highly respected pain & health psychologist and author of 'The Pain Management Workbook' - an integrative, evidence-based treatment protocol for adults, and 'The Chronic Pain & Illness Workbook for Teens' - the first pain workbook for youth. Dr. Zoffness, a world-renowned expert on nonpharmacological approaches to pain management, discusses & answers live questions on 'Pain Management', a hugely important topic that drives the need for evolution in the health care we provide. Topics included: Understanding and embracing of the BioPsychoSocial model of pain How to explain pain to patients Metaphors like the 'pain dial' that can be useful in understanding pain Why healthcare still uses such an outdated model of pain The introduction of pain education as part of school curriculum. It was a fantastic hour that seemed to pass quicker than any other episode! Dr Zoffness' passion and skill at presenting the complex topic of pain left many of the therapists that joined us live in absolute admiration!
