Episode 15 - Chronic and Persistent Pain with Thomas Marshall

<p>Welcome back to The Student Physio Podcast. Hosted by Connor Wright and Lewis Cowan we are joined by Physiotherapy lecturer Thomas Marshall. Tom qualified in 2007 after working in steel construction for 8 years, was an MSK Physio, and is now a lecturer at the University of Bradford. Over the last 14 years, he has worked across a variety of settings from orthopaedics, paediatrics, sport, MSK, and private healthcare and during this time has developed an interest in pain and how we work with people in pain. In this episode, we explore how chronic pain develops, the pathophysiology, and motivational interviewing, and commitment therapy as methods of treatment for chronic pain.</p> <p><strong>Disclaimers:</strong></p> <p>- This episode contains strong language</p> <p>- Tom’s views are not representative of the University of Bradford.</p> <p><strong>Useful resources discussed in this episode:</strong></p> <p>Mike Stewart’s Persistent Pain Website – <a href="https://www.knowpain.co.uk/">https://www.knowpain.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Worry and chronic pain: A misdirected problem-solving model<strong> </strong>(Eccleston and Crombez 2007) - <a href="https://journals.lww.com/pain/Citation/2007/12050/Worry_and_chronic_pain__A_misdirected_problem.5.aspx">https://journals.lww.com/pain/Citation/2007/12050/Worry_and_chronic_pain__A_misdirected_problem.5.aspx</a> &nbsp;- DOI: 10.1016/j.pain.2007.09.014</p> <p>Paul Lagerman – The Naked Physio - <a href="https://thenakedphysio.com/about-me/">https://thenakedphysio.com/about-me/</a></p> <p>David Hanscom - <a href="https://backincontrol.com/">https://backincontrol.com/</a></p> <p>WHO Paper on Chronic Low Back Pain (Ehrlich 2003) – https://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/81/9/Ehrlich.pdf</p> <p>What is LBP (Hartvigsen et al 2018) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29573870/ - DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(18)30480-X</p> <p>Biomedical (Engel 1977) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/847460/ - DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.847460" rel="noopener" target="_blank">10.1126/science.847460</a
