The Shoulder Physio Podcast#47: Active Inference, Pain, and Movement with Dr Mervyn TraversIn this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, Dr Jared Powell sits down with Dr Mervyn Travers, physiotherapist, S&C coach, and researcher, to explore one of the most compelling frameworks in contemporary pain science: active inference.
They discuss how this predictive brain model helps explain persistent musculoskeletal pain, why traditional exercise-based interventions might miss the mark, and how clinicians can use movement and context to shift a patient’s pain experience. Merv blends philosophy, neuroscience, and clinical pragmatism in a way that's accessible, challenging, and highly relevant.

Most of us can't. Partially because many of the forms of domestic violence and abuse are not physical so we don't see the bruises etc that we typcially expect in a DV case. Before abusive people like Josh Powell reach the point of physical violence there are lots of ways he or she can abuse - manipulation, coercion, threats, using children or a parent to control others - and the list goes on and on. And often time...2022-06-0223 min
The Shoulder Physio Podcast#16 The science of cause and effect - with Connor GleadhillI am joined by Connor Gleadhill to discuss causal inference. Connor is a PhD candidate exploring causal inference and is someone who speaks fluently about complex topics (must be the smooth Irish accent!). Causal inference is basically the pursuit of estimating how and why things happen. How do we determine causation - strictly through the randomised controlled trial or can we use observational evidence too? Can causal inference help us navigate a chaotic world?

But when it involves children we all draw a sharp breath in shock. When we learn a family member killed their own family and likely themselves as well it takes our disbelief to an entirely new level. Such is the Powell Family Tragedy. Josh Powell, the father, was a psychopath. But like most psychotics, he was able to hide his behavior from all but the closest to him. Sadly, his wife Susan knew what he was capable of and literally made notes and videos to her loved ones...2022-05-1922 min
