Director of CSPC Physiotherapy in Leeds, Alison Rose, specialises in working with high-level athletes, particularly those with complex injury histories. Rose speaks to Paul about her experience with chronic pain as being subjective for both athletes and non-athletes, explaining it as a unique ‘puzzle’ that needs to be put together to find the core mechanisms that cause pain. We also hear about the many unexpected physical relationships within our bodies that cause pain, as well as the importance of social networks.
We then hear from Cardiff University Professor of Medical Education Ann Taylor. Professor Taylor speaks about her work exploring how those with chronic pain perceive non-pain related information, and how this information is processed through ‘fear circuitry’ which can have detrimental effects on self-management. Professor Taylor promotes more focus on the ‘social’ aspect of the biopsychosocial model and the benefit of constructive conversations between patients and their healthcare professionals, something which Pain Concern’s Navigator Tool aims to do.
We hear again from Professor Mark Johnson of Leeds Beckett University, contributor to Airing Pain 110, about the importance of delivering healthcare with a social emphasis.

biopsychosocial, tell me is this the same group that gave us the DLA biopsychosocial study that saw thousand of patients moved off DLA and PIP’s this is the same biopsychosocial that Unum Provident used and who now sponsor most of Cardiff Uni department which deal with Disability .
Mansell Alyward or Professor who use to work for the DWP and then went to work for Unum .
I think I would take this with a massive pinch of salt when your sponsored by the biggest Insurance group who had issues in America before Tony Blair took them to remove the disabled from some benefits .
