Greg Lehman

In this engaging conversation, Dr. Mark Laslett, a musculoskeletal physiotherapy specialist from New Zealand, and Greg Lehman, a physiotherapist and chiropractor with a biopsychosocial approach, tackle the contentious issue of non-specific low back pain. They debate whether it qualifies as a real diagnosis and discuss its implications for patient treatment. Their dialogue brings to light the current research gaps, challenges in diagnostic accuracy, and the need for individualized care strategies, making a compelling case for a reexamination of traditional approaches.

In this engaging conversation, Greg Lehman, a physiotherapist, chiropractor, and strength coach, shares his journey through various health professions. He discusses redefining pain as a response to threat, and emphasizes the importance of language in rehabilitation. Greg explores evolutionary perspectives in therapy and highlights the necessity of movement variability. He also reflects on the role of lifestyle factors like sleep and nutrition in pain management, while questioning the mechanical explanations behind manual therapy. Throughout, he offers practical advice and insights into personal growth.

Greg is a renowned physiotherapist and chiropractor and is well known for reconciling biomechanics with pain science, which, coincidentally, is the name of his course!  We talk about pain, the nuances of it, and the potential simplicity in helping people with pain minimise suffering and disability.
