Hypermobile feet & pain podcast with @GaryWard_AiM. So important to create a sense of safety in the body. This is my number 1 priority before jumping into exercise. #hypermobility

[Dr. Rachel Zoffness @DrZoffness]

🚨When pain becomes chronic, the brain gets stuck in "danger" mode.

🧠 This impacts not just how we feel -
but also how we THINK.

🔥 A brain in danger-mode amplifies threat,
triggering negative thoughts + predictions.

📣 Healing means targeting body AND brain 🙏🏼

🧵This is a thread about how we explored some divergent clinical trial results around CBT and exercise in chronic pain. This thread discusses our recent paper just published ahead of print in @PAINthejournal. https://t.co/H9g4Exhm4E 1/17

[Monika Tuite @MonikaTuite]

We’re currently advertising a band 8a psychologist or CBT therapist post, .4 or .5 WTE, on the gloriously sunny East Sussex coast.
It’s a varied post with a splendid pain MDT, & great support from a wider Clin Health dept.

Are you a clinician (any discipline!) working with young people (18-30years) experiencing chronic pain, then please consider taking part in my PhD student study exploring the use of creative tools to aid understanding of their chronic pain.

[Psychological Professions SPFT @PPT_SPFT]

The Musculoskeletal Service at Sussex Partnership is looking to recruit a Band 8a Clinical Psychologist to their team in Eastbourne! Exciting opportunity for a skilled clinician with an interest in self-management of persistent pain (£47,126 -£53,219 pa). https://t.co/hT3x7KAoI9

[Harriet Carroll: Long Covid Scientific Consultancy @angryhacademic]

The number 1 complaint i hear from #patients is NOT "the doctors cant FIX me" but rather "the doctors wont LISTEN to me"

Medicine doesnt have to bring miracles to help patients

[Pete Moore @paintoolkit2]

Many people are confused about 'self-management.' Many think their Healthcare Professional (HCP) is abandoning them. This is far from it. Self-Mgt is learning simple skills with the help and support of your HCP and others, when needed. Watch Pete's video https://t.co/2IfEoiO7E8

[Dr. Michael Schatman @headdock]

https://t.co/jqJMXe1va1 Perhaps the best paper I've ever read on the marginalization and stigmatization of chronic pain patients, written from a philosophical, bioethical perspective. Outstanding work!
