After 30 years of working with people in pain, and even longer finding ways of dealing with my own, I’m writing a book about why pain can sometimes continue long after the original injury has healed, and how we can help the body find its way back towards confidence and recovery.

So what's the big idea?
Pain is one of the body's most important protective systems. It exists to keep us safe.
But sometimes a protection system that has worked hard to help us can become overly cautious. The alarm becomes more sensitive, and pain can continue even when the original danger has passed.
Recovery is not about fighting your body. It is about using evidence based strategies to help your body gradually regain confidence, capacity and trust.
Why I'm writing this book
After more than 30 years working with people in pain, I kept coming back to one question:
Why does a body that is trying so hard to protect us sometimes end up trapping us?
This book brings together what I have learned from years of working with people with persistent pain, alongside the growing understanding from modern pain science of how pain and recovery work.
Your author hard at work!
