Jo Nijs, PT, MT, PhD,[1] is a Belgian professor of physiotherapy at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and physiotherapist/manual therapist at the University Hospital Brussels. He has published more than 200 peer reviewed journals and has been strong proponent of some of our favourite topics on this podcast.
We talk about:
- classifying pain based on mechanisms (nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic)
- what nociplastic pain is
- the utility of understanding nociplastic pain
- how lifestyle interventions (sleep, stress, diet) can influence pain
- how we can tailor those interventions to individuals in pain
- how traditional "motor control" exercises can be reframed and help with pain
