Pain Reframed: Recent Episodes
Evidence In Motion
Pain Reframed is a podcast for physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapy assistants and other health care providers about pain and how pain is managed in our society. Pain is a large issue right now and we will bring powerful and helpful insights on how we can manage pain in a much more efficient and effective way. Pain Reframed is committed to changing language and practice patterns across disciplines and points of care in order to reduce the unnecessary suffering that results from the propagation of misinformation, insufficient understanding of the pain experience, and the over-medicalization of pain in society. Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore will share their expertise, as well as the expertise from others in the medical and psychological fields, about pain management and our roles in dealing with pain. We want to create a sustainable, multi-disciplinary, international conversation on pain.
"Has anyone ever explained pain to you?" Rachel Zoffness, PhD, always asks her patients this one question in order to bridge the gap between her patient's understanding of their own pain and what other health care providers have told them about their pain.
On today's episode of Pain Reframed, Dr. Zoffness joins Tim Flynn, PT, PHD, OCS, FAAOMPT, and Jeff Moore, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, to discuss her new workbooks that she created to help bridge that education gap that patients have of their understanding of what their pain is telling them about their bodies. Dr. Zoffness wrote these workbooks for her own practice as a psychologist treating adolescents and young adults and is now ready to share this incredible resource with other providers.

On this week's episode Liz and Jeff speak with Dr. Kirsty Bannister, a renowned researcher on conditioned pain modulation, about what we know, what we’re studying, and what we can look forward to in the future of this topic.
Kirsty completed BSc, MRes and PhD degrees at University College London and and Imperial College before returning to UCL for a decade-long postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Professor Anthony Dickenson. In 2017 Kirsty gained her faculty position upon joining King’s College London where she now runs her research group investigating the central modulation of pain. Specifically Kirsty's research team bridges the gap between bench and bedside pain research by conducting exploratory experiments that seek to molecularly, anatomically and/or functionally define descending control pathways in rodent and man using electrophysiology and human psychophysics respectively. Kirsty has led multiple symposia at world pain congresses including IASP and EFIC and she also performs Section Editor duties for multiple pain-related journals.

Liz and Jeff chat with Dr. Leonard Van Gelder, DPT, CSCS, TPS, CSMT about relational frame theory, the most empirically-studied theory of human language and cognition and how this relates to the psychological flexibility of patients' ability to incorporate new concepts into their existing stories, and prognosis for recovery.
Leonard Van Gelder has been involved in the movement and rehabilitation field for over 15 years. During this time, he has studied, published research, and presented at regional and international conferences on the science of stretching, strength and conditioning, and therapeutic pain science interventions. He has explored a diverse spectrum of manual therapy and movement approaches, and emphasizes a biopsychosocial approach to manual therapy, movement, and education in his practice. He owns and practices clinically at Dynamic Movement and Recovery (DMR) in Grand Rapids, MI.

In this episode, Liz and Jeff chat with Walt Fritz. Walt has been a physical therapist since 1985 and has integrated manual therapy into that model ever since 1992. He trained with many traditional tissue-based instructors, including myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, but became dissatisfied with the narratives used to describe the work and effects and began to move into a more biologically plausible explanation. While continuing to use a hands-on approach that visibly resembles those earlier models, he has neutralized the implied message by now referring to the work he uses and teaches as "manual therapy." Building on concepts firmly grounded in the biopsychosocial model, as well as the possibly undervalued third leg of the evidence-based practice model (patient preferences and values), his model of intervention and professional education stresses a patient-led experience. He believes that manual therapy need not be a passive modality, one that fosters patient dependency, but a subset of therapeutic intervention that reduces fear of movement and encourages self-efficacy, one well-grounded in evidence-based practice.

Dr. Justin Dunaway joins Pain Reframed this week! Justin has extensive experience in outpatient orthopedics, not only in the United States, but also in Haiti. Justin and his wife, Dr. Morgan Denny, founded and run the organization STAND Haiti. The STAND Haiti Project establishes permanent access to orthopedic rehabilitative services in the country of Haiti through direct patient care and clinical training of its citizens.
Through STAND Haiti, Justin and his team go to Haiti multiple times a year to see patients who have a significantly different relationship with healthcare and different level of resources and education than in the United States. Interestingly, the difference of access to resources and education brings up some fascinating discussion. Jeff, Justin, and Tim share their thoughts on these differences and how having a “blank slate” in treatment and care can actually be beneficial.
Justin shares his experience in going through the Therapeutic Pain Specialist Certification program and how it helped him and changed the way he manages pain. The certification was instrumental in teaching Justin ways to take the ideas on pain management and apply it in a framework that works for him and his patients.

Sleep is SO important. Sure, the topic has been batted around on Pain Reframed, but do we really know and believe that sleep is essential? Today, we’ll be chatting with Dr. Katie Siengsukon about sleep, as well as screening and sleep hygiene tactics that you need as a clinician and also that you need as a patient.
Dr. Siengsukon provides instruction in neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and sleep health promotion in the physical therapy and rehabilitation science graduate programs. She is currently the director of the Sleep, Health, and Wellness Laboratory and conducts research to better understand how sleep impacts function, learning, and overall health particularly with aging and in those with neurological conditions.

We have Dr. Jessie Podolak joining us this week to share her story and journey as a physical therapist working with patients who have chronic pain. Jessie shares a wealth of, not only knowledge and great tips, but incredible wisdom that is absolutely helpful to, not only your professional pursuit, but also your personal life.
Jessie talks quite a bit about the need for PT’s to have self-care. Take care of yourself in order to take care of others. Additionally, rather than saying “soft skills” in relation to compassion, empathy, listening, mentorship, etc., say they are “higher order skills.” This is HUGELY important and something, we’ve found, that patients really do, deep down, want.

This week, on Pain Reframed, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are joined by Dr. Beth Darnall, who is a pain psychologist, clinical scientist, and Clinical Professor at Stanford University. Beth has a focus on pain catastrophizing as well as treating some of the key issues that prevent patients from succeeding with other pain treatments.
Clinically, Beth provides psychological services to patients with catastrophic burn, spinal cord injury or amputation. Her desire to specialize in the management of chronic pain was inspired by her clinical experiences and by her own personal experience with chronic pain. Beth brings a wealth of knowledge to the episode as they discuss some key aspects to managing patients with chronic pain as well as altering systems to maximize positive treatment effects.

Welcome back to Pain Reframed! This week, we welcome Dr. Anna Lembke who is the Chief of Addiction Medicine and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Anna is also the author of the powerful and eye-opening book “Drug Dealer, MD.”
Dr. Lembke shares her professional journey and what led her to write “Drug Dealer, MD.” The premise behind her book is extremely jaw-dropping and shows a very real perspective to what happens between Doctor and Patient in the medical profession and in terms of the opioid crisis. She reads a passage out of her book and she, Tim, and Jeff discuss just what that looks like and what we, as PT’s need to do to fix this pain problem and help our patients!
On the other hand, Anna is not attacking doctors as she believes they are “trapped in the system” and she, therefore, has a great deal of empathy for them. Her desire is to help them to get them out of the bureaucracy in order to solve the problem for patients. This is a fantastic and intriguing episode worth your time!

Pain Reframed has some exciting episodes coming up, but we are taking a short summer break.
During the break, we will repost some of our biggest hits, and can't wait to bring you brand new episodes soon!
We're excited to have Keith Meldrum on this week's episode of Pain Reframed! He shares his journey with chronic pain, what led him to the biopsychosocial model in particular, and how a simple statement changed the path of his recovery.
A civil engineer by trade, Keith has been living with chronic pain for over 30 years, after a near-fatal car accident in 1986. Years of surgeries eventually ended in being told that his pain was all in his head. Since then, he's taught himself about the biopsychosocial model and began advocating for it. He continues to speak out about the importance of pain science through social media, his blog, and other avenues.

We have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Judy Grisel for a particularly emotional episode of Pain Reframed this week. She shares her personal struggle with addiction, the havoc it wreaked on her life and relationships, and what it was that eventually got through to her and convinced her to get sober. She also discusses how she's helping her own daughter avoid making the same mistakes, using techniques we can all implement, both in our clinics and in our personal lives.
Dr. Judy Grisel is a behavioral neuroscientist whose research focuses on determining root causes of drug addiction. She studies sex differences in the role of stress and endorphins on drug reward and works to identify innate factors that contribute to individual differences in the liability toward addiction.
In addition to being a professor and researcher, Judy is a New York Times bestselling author. Her book, Never Enough, uses her past as an addict to explore the neuroscience behind how drugs work, the changes they cause in the brain, and where we might be able to find the cure to today's addiction epidemic. It's a powerful piece that we recommend for all clinicians who work with current or recovering addicts.
Do you have a question for Judy that you'd like her to answer on another episode of Pain Reframed? Send us a DM on Twitter, post it in the Pain Reframed Facebook group, or email Liz Peppin at lizpeppinmqt@gmail.com.

This week on the Pain Reframed podcast, Dr. David Hanscom joins Tim Flynn and Jeff Moore to discuss the strategies he uses to help chronic pain patients, and why recovery is ultimately in the hands of the patient, not the clinician.
Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who now understands that most chronic pain from any source is solvable – usually without surgery. He is the creator of the DOC (Direct your Own Care) program, which is the subject of his book, Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap out of Chronic Pain. He also publishes a weekly blog and maintains a website, www.backincontrol.com, to provide resources for chronic pain patients and their families. Dr. Hanscom distinguishes himself from many spine surgeons in that he strongly encourages non-surgical solutions for his patients, a belief which stems from his own battle with chronic pain.

We welcome, back to Pain Reframed, Dr. Adriaan Louw! Adriaan, Jeff, and Tim are discussing ISPI’s new Front Office Program, which is designed to help front office staff to interact with patients in a way that will help them in their healing process. Saying something to a patient and/or treating them in a certain way can, as we know, help or hurt that patient. Our goal is to make the patient’s experience the best possible and to allow for optimal healing.
Adriaan also gives us an update on his middle school education about reframing pain and teaching students at a younger age to understand healthy foundations for what pain and discomfort truly is.
Don’t forget to save the date: March 8-10, 2019 in Denver, Colorado, the Align Conference will be taking place, focusing on movement and pain.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Reframed Recap. We’re excited to get back together and dive deeper into the nuggets shared on a couple episodes over the past few months. Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore discuss, first of all, some key takeaways and lessons learned from attending the Colorado Health Education Summit! This ties in with episode 76 with Dr. Jamie Childs Everitt. Make sure to listen that episode with Jamie if you haven’t already.
They also dig deeper into the conversation and content shared in the episode with Eric Chaconas and Ahmed Rashwan (episode 73). There are some great nuggets of wisdom shared in this episode!

Today, we are looking at large data sets, from a population standpoint, asking if there are ways we can figure out why people actually seek out healthcare and solutions to their pain. We welcome Dr. Derek Clewley, from Duke University, who has been researching behavioral attributes towards healthcare services. His goal has been to use this information to predict healthcare utilization, which, of course, can help us to better understand and serve patients with persistent pain.
Derek, Tim, and Jeff discuss Derek’s findings and how we can understand where the patient is coming from, what their expectations are, and what their experiences have been. They’ll discuss how we measure these findings and ensure we’re utilizing correct comparisons so we can best treat our patients.

We have a very special episode for you this week. Dr. Jamie Childs Everett joins us to discuss what she’s doing legislatively to help combat the opioid crisis. Jamie has not, traditionally, been very outspoken, but when she spoke up, the government in Wyoming listened. As a result, things have changed, in a positive way, in the way that individuals with persistent pain will be treated in the state of Wyoming. Jamie will share what she did to help make this happen and what she’s continuing to do so you’ll have the necessary information to get involved in your state!

We have the top five commonly asked questions from patients today! Dr. Tim Flynn is out celebrating his 35th anniversary with his wife, so The Real Brian fills in to help Dr. Jeff Moore answer some of these commonly heard and very important questions that patients typically ask. Our discussion today culminates a lot what we talk about on Pain Reframed into one episode, hitting on some of the essentials!
- Are you guys saying that damaged structures in our body never cause pain?
- You hear that pain comes from the brain. How can I manage and even sort of control the pain with my mind?
- If the "issue isn't in the tissue" why do treatments that are directed towards the tissue often help temporarily?
- I’m wanting to take a more conservative approach to my treatment. How do I talk to my doctor if she seems biased towards medication and surgery?
- What are the best ways to exercise, move, strength-train, etc?

We strive to continue to bring different perspectives and disciplines of practice on to Pain Reframed to help balance our approach in helping patients. This week, we have an occupational therapist, Megan Doyle, joining us! Megan will be sharing her systems approach in how, why, and when we approach patients with specific information. Using words that help and not harm, for example. The goal is to keep the control in the patient’s hands, but yet to continue to arm them with the right information they need to achieve health and victory and prevent recurrence.
The conversation today is fantastic. Megan, Tim, and Jeff discuss the massive message for each of us to first ask what we are doing and what our approach is. Non-pharmacological management is the FIRST step. Let’s get our patients healing correctly and fully!

A need exists to address the physical aspect of addiction recovery. That’s the specialty of Advanced Therapy and Wellness. Today, we welcome Eric Chaconas and Ahmed Rashwan to discuss their work and passion in helping individuals recovering from substance use disorder by improving physical function, reducing pain and improving a sense of well being.
On this week’s episode, Ahmed, Eric, Tim, and Jeff discuss their conference, APTA Next, the role of physical therapists in regards to addiction, the physical component on addiction (which is, surprisingly, not normally addressed), and how we can, sometimes, underestimate what physical therapy brings to the market. It’s an incredible discussion and something you will definitely find valuable as well as, possibly, some new opportunities!

It’s been quite some time since we’ve had an episode focused on the patient side of things. Today’s episode with Leda McDaniel, however, is a bit different as she brings, not only the patient perspective, but also the PT perspective. Leda is a physical therapy student, having access to numerous treatment resources and learning how to deal with pain along her personal journey. She has a powerful story dealing with years of persistent pain and, yet, victories in the long run.
Leda wrote a book, recently, about her journey dealing with the pain, lessons learned, and healing experienced. Her book is called “Moments From a Year of Healing.” She also has a wealth of experiences and resources she shares in this week’s episode. Whether you’re someone dealing with persistent pain or treating those who experience long-term pain, this episode will, not only encourage you, but give you some great nuggets of wisdom.

This week, we welcome Dr. Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist from Harvard University. Her research focuses mainly on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to ascertain neural changes that occur with these types of therapy. Dr. Lazar has studied a wide-variety of problems including bipolar disorder, persistent pain, and depression. She will share some exciting information about the research of the cognitive therapies and their effects on persistent pain.
Dr. Lazar’s research results suggest that meditation can produce experience-based structural alterations in the brain. They also found evidence that meditation may slow down the age related atrophy of certain areas of the brain. It’s very exciting research and we hope you enjoy this discussion!

We welcome back, to Pain Reframed, Dr. Beth Darnall, who is a pain psychologist, clinical scientist, and Clinical Professor at Stanford University. Beth has such a passion and commitment to making a difference in the management of persistent pain as well as reducing the opioid epidemic.
In episode 28 with Beth, we discussed the fact that we tend to ignore the pain psychology of patients. Today, we’re continuing that discussion and getting also into the topic of pain catastrophizing and what to do about it.
Beth has a focus on pain catastrophizing as well as treating some of the key issues that prevent patients from succeeding with other pain treatments. Clinically, Beth provides psychological services to patients with catastrophic burn, spinal cord injury or amputation. Her desire to specialize in the management of chronic pain was inspired by her clinical experiences and by her own personal experience with chronic pain.

It’s our second Pain Reframed PSA! Today, we’re discussing an article titled “Physical Therapy as a First Point of Care to Treat Low Back Pain” by Dr. Bianca Frogner (link below). Specifically, there’s also discussion relating to opioids being the first point of contact and care for many patients.
Obviously, a huge goal of Pain Reframed is to keep individuals away from opioids as much as possible. This article showed that individuals who saw a PT first had a significantly lower percentage of opioid use. Enjoy this episode and we hope you check out the article as well!

Sometimes, there are pain areas that people aren’t always comfortable discussing. Even further, it’s easy for us to compare, for example, our hands to others around us. But some areas… well, let’s just say, we’re not going around comparing those! So we need a safe environment for patients to feel comfortable and confident getting the treatment they deserve.
We welcome back Dr. Sandy Hilton to Pain Reframed! Sandy joined us way back on episode 7! Sandy and her business partner, Sarah Haag, of Entropy Physiotherapy, have made a community out of their clinic due to the forward-thinking environment they have created there, helping to ensure the patients feel welcome and comfortable. We will continue the discussion on how to handle sensitive pain topics and best treat our patients.

Jessie shares a wealth of, not only knowledge and great tips, but incredible wisdom that is absolutely helpful to, not only your professional pursuit, but also your personal life.
Jessie talks quite a bit about the need for PT’s to have self-care. Take care of yourself in order to take care of others. Additionally, rather than saying “soft skills” in relation to compassion, empathy, listening, mentorship, etc., say they are “higher order skills.” This is HUGELY important and something, we’ve found, that patients really do, deep down, want.

Sometimes patients will hear mixed messages and contradictory advice, which can be a huge problem in their treatment and faith in the system, especially when they have high concern and fear levels. Thankfully, Dr. Becky Vogsland has been working with an amazing team to create a system where a common message is focused on to truly help patients. Becky’s story and their results are phenomenal!
Becky has practiced at the Minneapolis VA in the areas of traumatic brain injury, polytrauma, orthopedics and chronic pain since 2007. To better serve her patients, Becky has obtained certifications as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapist, Certified Spinal Manual Therapist, and in Rehabilitation Pilates and TRX.

Certain regions of our country have a particularly challenging time dealing with the opioid crisis. These regions, not only have the challenge of seeing improvements with the crisis, but are also still seeing a rise in opioid use. Dr. Todd Davenport focuses on population health and social determinants of health.
In today’s episode and discussion, we’re looking at what these social determinants of health are that cause these populations to struggle to recover from opioid addiction issues and other related health issues from their quality of life.

We’ve got something new and special for you this week on Pain Reframed! Welcome to the Pain Reframed PSA! In these episodes, we will be taking an important recent finding/article/etc. and talking directly to the public rather than trying to speak only to clinicians. Then we’ll ask you to share this important topic with your communities.
In this first installment of the Pain Reframed PSA, we discuss a pragmatic trial (vs. a prescriptive trial) from the Journal of American Medical Association about moderate to severe chronic back, hip, or knee pain that has been going on for more than six months and the effect of opioid use vs. non-opioid use. We discuss the findings on this information and how you can utilize this in your personal care if this is something you deal with or someone you know deals with.

Sleep is SO important. Sure, the topic has been batted around on Pain Reframed, but do we really know and believe that sleep is essential? Today, we’ll be chatting with Dr. Katie Siengsukon about sleep, as well as screening and sleep hygiene tactics that you need as a clinician and also that you need as a patient.
Dr. Siengsukon provides instruction in neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and sleep health promotion in the physical therapy and rehabilitation science graduate programs. She is currently the director of the Sleep, Health, and Wellness Laboratory and conducts research to better understand how sleep impacts function, learning, and overall health particularly with aging and in those with neurological conditions.

Everything is well and good until that patient is right there in front of you while you are trying to actually implement the concepts that we’ve discussed here on Pain Reframed. Today, we get “down in the trenches” and discuss these types of encounters with actual patient stories and strategies and language used in those sessions. Our goal today is to bring additional clarity and insight in these moments to help you implement these strategies more efficiently and effectively.

Dr. Adriaan Louw rejoins Pain Reframed to discuss talking with children about pain. Specifically, a recent paper studied Middle School education of pain and showed that the paradigms and foundations for pain begin for us when we are kids. Dr. Louw and his team are going into schools to set a correct and healthy foundation for what pain is and what discomfort actually means in order to set these kids on a healthier path throughout their lives. We hope you enjoy this episode and its transformative message of hope and progress!

Pain Reframed is on location, this week, at South College in Knoxville, TN. Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are joined by Dr. Louie Puentedura. Last week’s episode with Dr. Tim Tollestrup generated significant, and even passionate, discussion on what Dr. Tollestrup talked about (is there a role for peripheral interventions in tackling persistent pain).
Dr. Puentedura has extensive knowledge in this area as well, so Tim, Jeff, and Louie dive deeper into what was discussed last week to bring even more clarity to the topic. They also bring an “and, not or” call to action while discussing necessary strategies for treating patients with chronic pain in coordination with what was discussed last week.

Welcome back to another episode of Pain Reframed! This week, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are talking with Dr. Tim Tollestrup, a peripheral nerve surgeon in Las Vegas. Tim reached out to Jeff and Tim after hearing some episodes of Pain Reframed in order to bring a different perspective stating that sometimes the issue is “in the tissue.” His perspective fosters some healthy debate and discussion to provide slightly different treatments based on his experiences with his patients. It’s a fantastic discussion that you can learn a significant amount from and also have your viewpoints challenged in a healthy way.

Welcome back to another episode of Pain Reframed! This week, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are chatting with John Gribbin, who is the CEO of CurableHealth.com, a technology company that’s built around providing high-quality neuro education to individuals suffering from persistent pain.
Curable is built by a team of people who have suffered and still suffer from persistent pain, so they know what to provide for those patients suffering today. The science to reframe pain is out there, but unfortunately not accessible to most of society. As a result, Tim, Jeff, and John will discuss what Curable does and how we can integrate it into our practices.

Today on Pain Reframed, Dr. Andrew Rothschild joins Dr. Jeff Moore and Dr. Tim Flynn. Andrew shares his story with extensive severe and chronic pain as a patient and also, now, from a PT perspective. Andrew’s experience with pain as a patient was not, unfortunately, the best experience and, as a result, caused him to train to become a PT to do things differently and, as he puts it, better.
It’s a powerful story and contains numerous nuggets along the way worth heeding and applying to our lives as PT’s and/or patients suffering from chronic pain.

Welcome back to Pain Reframed! This week, Dr. Adam Ryan joins us to discuss the prescription and regulation of opioids. Adam is an obstetrician-gynecologist in Iron Mountain, Michigan, and was a huge inspiration to Dr. Jeff Moore with his knowledge, communication, patient care, and being present with others.
Adam, Jeff, and Tim discuss where the opioid problem came from and how we got to where we are today. With that, Adam also shares his unique perspective from, not only rural America, but also from a busy practice, not having the time he wishes he could have with the patients. Also, a very interesting commentary on how patients can and sometimes do push back when trying to educate them on opioids.
The conversation moves towards trying to find solutions to addressing this problem effectively when the cards are really stacked against. It’s an excellent, powerful, and necessary conversation in today’s episode!

This week, Adriaan Louw, known for his work in pain and pain neuroscience education as well as the head of the International Spine and Pain Institute, joins us, once again, to discuss the idea of pain science and whether it should be hands on or hands off. Adriaan and Dr. Louie Puentedura just published a paper on this topic in the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy.
Also, coming up next Friday, June 9-11, 2017, is the Clinical Conference on Neuroplasticity and Pain in Minneapolis, MN! We are very excited about this conference as it will cover topics including the clinical application of neuroscience, back pain, sensory processing disorders, and motor control just to name a few.

We are going back to the patient’s perspective this week on Pain Reframed! The Real Brian joins Dr. Jeff Moore and Dr. Tim Flynn to discuss pain and the intense story behind Brian’s experience in dealing with pain and a surgery that didn’t go exactly as expected.
Brian discusses his journey with back and leg pain, starting in 2002, and how it affected him throughout the last decade. In 2013, his lower disc ruptured and he, at that point, had to get “emergency” surgery to remove the disc fragment from pressing up against and traumatizing the sciatic nerve. The surgery should have been a success (with a 1% chance of complications) but the surgery left Brian with no nerve signal down into his leg. Brian shares the story of his journey from debilitating pain to surgical complications to how he has overcome these limitations today.
Additionally, Brian, Tim, and Jeff talk about the transparency of medical professionals in needing to own up to their mistakes and find solutions to the problems at hand. They also discuss the power of physical therapy and the incredible success of pain management from, not only a physical side, but also a mental side.

Welcome back to Pain Reframed! This week, we welcome Sandy Hilton of Entropy Physiotherapy to the show! Sandy and her business partner, Sarah Haag, have done some incredible things at Entropy Physiotherapy. They have made a community out of their clinic due to the amazing environment they have created there, helping to ensure the patients feel welcome and comfortable. Sandy is instrumental in the areas of pain management as well and will be discussing her thoughts and expertise on this topic.
Sandy, Tim, and Jeff discuss pain sciences, how much we actually know about it, what we can do to continually learn and grow and treat the patient as a whole, and the idea of turning pain science into the “air we breathe and not the thing we do.”

Welcome back to Pain Reframed! This week, we welcome Dr. Anna Lembke who is the Chief of Addiction Medicine and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Anna is also the author of the powerful and eye-opening book “Drug Dealer, MD.”
Dr. Lembke shares her professional journey and what led her to write “Drug Dealer, MD.” The premise behind her book is extremely jaw-dropping and shows a very real perspective to what happens between Doctor and Patient in the medical profession and in terms of the opioid crisis. She reads a passage out of her book and she, Tim, and Jeff discuss just what that looks like and what we, as PT’s need to do to fix this pain problem and help our patients!
On the other hand, Anna is not attacking doctors as she believes they are “trapped in the system” and she, therefore, has a great deal of empathy for them. Her desire is to help them to get them out of the bureaucracy in order to solve the problem for patients. This is a fantastic and intriguing episode worth your time!

Dr. Justin Dunaway joins Pain Reframed this week! Justin has extensive experience in outpatient orthopedics, not only in the United States, but also in Haiti. Justin and his wife, Dr. Morgan Denny, founded and run the organization STAND Haiti. The STAND Haiti Project establishes permanent access to orthopedic rehabilitative services in the country of Haiti through direct patient care and clinical training of its citizens.
Through STAND Haiti, Justin and his team go to Haiti multiple times a year to see patients who have a significantly different relationship with healthcare and different level of resources and education than in the United States. Interestingly, the difference of access to resources and education brings up some fascinating discussion. Jeff, Justin, and Tim share their thoughts on these differences and how having a “blank slate” in treatment and care can actually be beneficial.
Justin shares his experience in going through the ISPI Pain Certification program and how it helped him and changed the way he manages pain. The ISPI Pain Certification Program was instrumental in teaching Justin ways to take the ideas on pain management and apply it in a framework that works for him and his patients.

Renowned author Laura Pritchett joins us here on Pain Reframed! Laura is the author of multiple books, including “Stars Go Blue,” “Red Lightning,” “Sky Bridge,” and just recently, “The Blue Hour.” She’s also working on her upcoming book, “The Death Book.” Laura is the first of many guests who will be talking, not from the clinician's perspective, but from the perspective of those who have experienced very serious pain conditions.
Laura shares her journey with physical pain and how she’s learned how to manage that pain through specific and effective thought processes. She, not only discusses the tough times when dealing with the pain, but also what was going through her head and how she was able to combat those thoughts to reduce, or even eliminate, the pain that wasn’t serious or possibly even there at all. Laura also recommends a great program that helped her: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

The legendary Dr. Adriaan Louw joins us as our first guest here on Pain Reframed! Adriaan is, not only an exceptional speaker, but an expert in pain science and manual therapy. Adriaan looks at pain and physical therapy through the lens of neuroscience. Jeff, Tim, and Adriaan get passionate about helping patients through pain rather than giving in to the opioid crisis. As we listen to this conversation, approximately 72 people will die from opioids. Solutions are discussed on today’s episode.
Adriaan will be a frequent guest here on Pain Reframed to continue to bring you valuable content. Adriaan is also the co-founder and CEO of the International Spine and Pain Institute, which creates and implements cutting edge, high quality, and research based education and resources for physical therapists related to spinal disorders, orthopedics, and neuroscience.
Pain Reframed is sponsored by the International Spine and Pain Institute. Please visit ispinstitute.com to learn more!

Welcome to Pain Reframed! In our first episode, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are introducing you to a podcast about pain and how pain is managed in our society. Pain is a large issue right now and we want to bring powerful and helpful insights on how we can manage pain in a much more efficient and effective way.
We’re committed to changing language and practice patterns across disciplines and points of care in order to reduce the unnecessary suffering that results from the propagation of misinformation, insufficient understanding of the pain experience, and the over-medicalization of pain in society.
Throughout this podcast, Tim and Jeff will share their expertise, as well as the expertise from others in the medical and psychological fields, about pain management and our roles in dealing with pain. We want to create a sustainable, multi-disciplinary, international conversation on pain.
In today’s episode, we introduce what Pain Reframed is, why Pain Reframed is needed, who we hope will engage with us here at Pain Reframed, and how this podcast will benefit you.
