Back Up: Why back pain treatments aren’t working and the new science offering hope

Do you have an interest in back pain?

Then join us online for our free 2023 Koadlow Community Lecture on Tuesday 31 October where we will be presenting something a bit different —an exposé on back pain.

The 2023 Koadlow Community Lecture will be presented by Liam Mannix, a multi-award-winning national science reporter for the The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. Liam is one of the many who live with back pain, and he takes his own experience as a starting point for his recently published and highly praised book of the same title.

In the Lecture, Liam will provide an overview of many of the developments and approaches in the management of back pain. He will then outline a new theory that has emerged in the last 20 years, born from cutting-edge neuroscience. It claims back pain often has little to do with the back or the discs or the spine. Instead, back pain is all about the brain. This new science offers new solutions — including, remarkably, evidence that just by teaching people the new theory of pain we can reduce it.

‘You can purchase Liam’s book through the MSK Shop.

A free copy of his book will also be given to one lucky person who attends the live screening of the Lecture on 31 October! Winner to be drawn from the list of attendees on 1 November.’
