Welcome to part 2 of our masterclass with Dr Sam Bunzli (Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia) and Dr JP Caneiro (BodyLogic Physiotherapy, Perth, Australia) on understanding, talking about and shifting the narratives we all carry about musculoskeletal pain.

We are exploring the explicit and implicit messages that you communicate with your words and actions when you work with patients. Drs Bunzli and Caneiro share tips on communicating, and on developing your own practice as a musculoskeletal rehabilitation clinician.
