In episode 380 of the Mechanical Care Forum, we’re continuing with season 12 and we’re spotlighting important books related to our field of conservative care of musculoskeletal disorders. This week we have Dr. Lorimer Moseley and his book, Explain Pain, a book to educate patients about their pain. We talk about where the idea of this book came with his coauthor David Butler, the principles found within the book, who needs to hear it, some related projects, and other books associated with this effort to help people make their way out of persistent pain and plenty more.

Martin’s story is, unfortunately, a common one of passive treatments and the lack of relief which is so commonly described.
