Am I safe to move? Professor Lorimer Moseley: New understanding of pain and focusing on the patient

Professor Lorimer Moseley (PT, PhD) is Chair of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and a professor of Clinical Neurosciences. http://people.unisa.edu.au/lorimer.moseley He combines Oxford rigour with a laconic and very popular Australian style of communication. In this podcast he addresses the questions: What’s new in our understanding of the spinal cord? What should we be telling patients? Is the ‘hands on, hands off’ debate a useful one? How do you feel the profession is performing right now? On the subject of what should we be telling patients, he argues we should train them to ask clinicians 3 questions. 1.How do I know my pain system is over-protective? 2.What can I do to retrain my system to be less protective? 3.Am I safe to move?
