SIG Spotlight: Pain, Mind, and Movement with Anabela Silva and Felipe Reis

As a global organization serving many different types of pain professionals, IASP strives to help its members build community. IASP Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are networks of members dedicated to specific topics or interests within the study of pain. Through 24 SIGs members share experiences, discussions, and developments that directly impact their practice or research. In this episode of Pain Exchange, our host Dr. Renee Chasse speaks with two of the leaders of IASP's Pain, Mind, and Movement SIG: Drs. Anabela Silva (Portugal) and Felipe Reis (Brazil). In their wide-ranging conversation, the three discuss the reciprocal relationship between physical movement and mental processes, how pain professionals can incorporate their patients' thoughts about their pain into treatment plans, and how the SIG is working to help achieve those goals. The views and opinions expressed by those interviewed are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of IASP. This episode was produced by Peter DelGobbo, who also composed the theme music.
