Podcast #42 Extending Modern Pain Science Education to other Chronic overprotection disorders.

In this 42nd episode of the Physio Global Podcast, we sit down with the world-renowned Prof. Lorimer Moseley AO for a special warm-up show ahead of the Pain Science in Motion Congress in Brussels (2026).

Lorimer explores the fascinating evolution of pain science and how the models used for chronic pain can be applied to other "chronic overprotection disorders" like PTSD, chronic fatigue, and loneliness.

🎙️ Featured Guest: Prof. Lorimer Moseley AO

• Foundation Chair in Physiotherapy and Professor of Clinical Neurosciences at Adelaide University.

• Leading researcher in the "why behind the ouch" and author of groundbreaking resources like the Explain Pain series and the Protectometer Handbook.

• Defining "Chronic Overprotection": Lorimer discusses how feelings like pain, fatigue, fear, and loneliness are biological protective outputs. When these feelings persist beyond their helpful window, they become a "locked bioprotective state".

• The "Big Six": A look at the six primary feelings Lorimer’s team is investigating as part of a "stealth pandemic" of disabling health problems: Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, Phobia, PTSD, and Loneliness.

• The Power of Learning: Why shifting a patient's understanding of their condition is one of the most transformative tools for "unlocking" overprotection.

• Societal Readiness: Lorimer addresses the controversy surrounding pain science education and the need for a holistic, community-wide shift in how we understand health.

• The Future of Pain Research: A look into "Pain Revolution" and the efforts to reach rural and regional communities through education and non-health professional training.

  
  

Lorimer's Initiative: Search for "Pain Revolution" to see how these concepts are being applied in communities.
