Speaking from his extensive experience as an anatomist, Mike offers fascinating observations that will make you see the human body in a new light. The conversation doesn't end there. We tackle the high-pressure, changing landscape of academia and how educators like Mike are stepping up to the challenge.Finally, we face a provocative question: Can Artificial Intelligence revolutionize anatomy education? Mike shares his insights on the potential of AI in creating natural language processing, VR and AR's role in patient care, and how tech giants like Apple are making it all more accessible. We even chat about the fears surrounding AI’s impact on jobs and how it can actually be used to enhance patient care. All while Mike shares his passion for stamp collecting and Dissecting Philately, his podcast that merges anatomy and philately.

Are you ready to revolutionize your approach to physical therapy? Join us for an eye-opening discussion with Matt Erb, a leading practitioner in mind-body medicine, as we explore the powerful potential of integrating mind-body principles in physical therapy practice. Discover how addressing the biopsychosocial model can contribute to positive shifts in human health, and learn about the challenges of separating biological treatments from psychosocial domains.Through our conversation, we delve into the importance of whole person care in physical therapy, discussing the need for time, comfort, training, mentoring, and coding to truly engage in this type of care. Matt shares his thoughts on using open-ended questioning to give people permission to share and uncover their own answers, and he offers insights on how this is a form of neuromuscular reeducation and its potential in shifting bodily tone and regulating heart rate variability. We also examine the crucial role of self-application and embodiment of mind-body principles, and discuss barriers to providing transformative care. As we emphasize the importance of staying within the scope of practice while still supporting patients, you'll gain valuable perspectives on maintaining professional boundaries and providing life-changing experiences.

What if we've been looking at pain all wrong? Join me in a fascinating conversation with Asaf Weisman, a clinician and researcher in Israel who offers a differing perspective on the biopsychosocial model of pain from what is commonly seen on social media.   Asaf's personal history of chronic pain from skateboarding and migraines, combined with his professional background in physical therapy, provides a backdrop for our discussion on the term psychogenic pain and the potential future of pain relief in biological treatments.We had a solid discussion on psychogenic pain as a label, and how it's often used as a convenient way to dismiss a patient's experience. Moreover, we delve into the false delineation of somatic and nonsomatic pain, and the challenges clinicians face when navigating these concepts. Asaf shares his thoughts on why the biopsychosocial model of pain has been a red herring for pain research and argues that the future of pain relief will be in biological treatments. Finally, we explore the potential to influence chronic pain states through lifestyle factors such as weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.

What if we told you that the key to transforming physiotherapy and care for people with chronic pain lies in a paradigm shift towards person-centered care? In this thought-provoking episode, we sat down with Morten Hoegh, a professor at Alberg University in Denmark, to discuss this revolution in pain management and the challenges that come along with it.We also delved into the complexities of treating chronic pain and the importance of creating a collaborative environment between patients and practitioners. With Morten's insight, we unpacked the implications of two recent research papers and discovered how different disciplines, such as neuroscience, topology, and philosophy, contribute to the conversation on pain management. The need for professionals to use generic skills and work with experts when necessary has never been more evident.Our conversation with Morten took us on a journey through the realm of patient-centered care, empowering patients to take ownership of their treatment and exploring the idea of booster sessions to further support them in their path to recovery.
