POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

APS President Bernadette Smith has sent us an update from the road! 🚴

Bernie and fellow APS members are taking on the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour this week to support a goal we share: better access to pain education and care, regardless of postcode.

As the riders travel between regional communities, the tour’s education team is running free events for local health professionals and the public. Your donations help make this outreach possible.

Watch Bernie’s day-five update for a glimpse of life on tour, including a request that has surprisingly little to do with cycling. Anyone got a good bird fact? 🐦👇

Why can pain continue after an injury has healed?

Tyson, our Exercise Physiologist and pain science expert helps clients understand why.

Pain is a protective response involving the brain and nervous system. Sometimes, that system remains on high alert and continues interpreting normal signals as threatening.

Think of a smoke detector that has become too sensitive. It sounds the alarm even when there is no longer a fire. Chronic pain, stress and trauma can all make the nervous system more protective.

Understanding this doesn't make the pain less real. It gives us more ways to treat it. Pain education, carefully graded movement and somatic therapies can help the nervous system feel safer with movement and sensation again.

This isn't positive thinking. It's pain science.

#WordsMatter......"It doesn't look that bad? What score would you give it...."

Let's ask better questions in Persistent Pain - Please?

Don't Run. This operation cost £50,000. You will damage the joint and cause pain. Join me 20yrs later as I seek to show the same contempt to this medical advice as I did for "don't ride bikes - not with your back".

Can I run? Is a new belief system enough to overcome osteoarthritis, a false hip, a grade 3 Achilles Rupture, spinal degeneration and wide spread persistent pain and fatigue?

20 years ago I had my hip replaced. I was firmly told "Don't Run". Doing so would heighten the risk of revision surgery, it would damage the new joint, and it would cause pain. This is my experiment to see if I can show those statements the same contempt as when I was told "Don't ride bikes, not with your back".

Zwei Tage "Pain Science in Practice" mit dem großartigen Lorimer Moseley von @painrevolution sind vergangen wie im Fluge.

Unterhaltsam, kurzweilig und fordernd - eine absolute Empfehlung für alle, die sich mit dem Thema Schmerz tiefer auseinandersetzen möchten oder müssen.

Persistent pain care is bigger than pain.

It affects how people move, rest, work, parent, connect, care for themselves and participate in daily life.

That’s why we’re bringing the conversation to Cairns.

Join the Queensland Pelvic Pain Network for Pain, Participation & Empowerment — an interdisciplinary evening exploring the role of Occupational Therapy in persistent pain care.

We’ll look at how OTs support people with persistent pain across both public and private settings, including:

→ pacing and flare planning
→ daily function and meaningful activity
→ sleep and energy management
→ confidence and identity
→ return to work, parenting and life roles
→ behaviour change and moving forward with pain

This event is for clinicians working across persistent pain, pelvic pain, women’s health, mental health, rehabilitation and community care.

Featuring OT perspectives from:
Nikita Plowman
Lucy Ruttiman
Hollie Swanton

Tuesday 21 July 2026
JCU Campus, Yenie Building, Cairns
$35 or free for QPPN / PPFA members

Scan the QR code to book or visit the PPFA website.

Tag a Cairns, regional or persistent pain clinician who should be in the room. #persistentpain #painrevolution #pelvichealth #cairns

🏆 Op 30 mei mocht de Vrije Universiteit Brussel vanuit het initiatief van PijnWijzer tijdens het Pain Science in Motion Congress VI in Brussel de Prijs voor Maatschappelijke Impact in de Pijnwetenschap uitreiken aan Pain Revolution, vertegenwoordigd door Prof. dr. Lorimer Moseley 🏆

Pain Revolution is een Australische non-profitorganisatie die werkt aan een betere, wetenschappelijk onderbouwde aanpak van (chronische) pijn. De focus ligt op rurale gebieden, waar mensen vaker pijn hebben en minder toegang tot zorg. Daarom organiseren ze outreach-activiteiten en leiden ze lokale zorgverleners op tot “pain educators” in hun eigen gemeenschap. Hun doel is om moderne kennis over pijn toegankelijk te maken en zo de levenskwaliteit te verbeteren.

Daarnaast zette PijnWijzer ook een aantal jonge onderzoekers in de kijker die zich met passie engageren binnen het domein van (chronische) pijn. Hun onderzoek vormt de basis voor de pijnzorg van morgen.

💡 Maatschappelijke impact ontstaat niet alleen op organisatieniveau. De impact begint bij individuele onderzoekers die de ambitie hebben om wetenschap te vertalen naar de praktijk en zo een verschil te maken voor mensen met pijn. 💡

Samen bouwen we aan een toekomst waarin sterke wetenschap en maatschappelijke impact hand in hand gaan.

The waiting room is open.

@painrevolution free student & junior clinician Local Pain Collective is starting this July — and we'd love you in it.
Absolutely FREE ( this organisation is mad cool- said the Millennial)

If you're an MSK clinician, new grad, or student who's ever sat across from a complex pain client and thought I don't actually know what to do here — this is the room you want to be in.

6 weeks, all online, completely free:
→ 4 weekly Zooms with a community of legends
→ 1 week off to play with what you've learned
→ 1 final week back together to celebrate the wins

A small, generous group of clinicians who want to think differently about pain. No ego, no fluff — just real reasoning, shared honestly.
Click the link in bio. Save your seat before the doors close.

See you in July ↘️

Strap yourselves in for a recap of the @auspainsoc 2026 annual scientific meeting.

I love this conference so much; the fascinating new pain research from basic science to clinical implementation, the workshops, and most importantly the wonderful people that you get to meet and reconnect with.

Can’t wait for next year on the Gold Coast!

I’m often asked: Which questionnaire should I use to see if my patient "actually gets" pain science education principles?

We just published a review that identified 32 different instruments (yikes!) used to measure conceptual change. Whether you are looking at pain knowledge, beliefs, or attitudes, there is a tool for it… but they aren’t all equal! Still lots of work ahead, but a combo of quant/qual options makes sense at this point. Hope you find this useful.

Go PETAL team! Roland Reezigt, Anneke Beetsma, Mark Catley, Tonya Palermo, Hayley Leake, Michiel Reneman, Jamie Watson, Cormac Ryan, & Lorimer Moseley
