  • Great resource!

    Pain Science Education is one of my favorite podcasts! And, although I love pain science education (in general), this podcast is really about so much more! Yes, there is lots of science -- but don't worry those of you who aren't big science nerds like myself, Dr. Tatta and his guests make it all very relatable. I'm a physician who works with lots of patients with chronic pain, and I find myself regularly referring to content on this podcast and recommending episodes for my patients. Whether you'... more

  • Hope as a Therapeutic Intervention for Chronic Pain

    As someone with chronic pain, I particularly loved this episode because it focuses on self agency in getting your life and health back. I have worked online with Dr. Tatta, and he was so critical in helping me to understand my pain and overcome the obstacles that were preventing me from walking. In my first group session, he talked about the factors that prevent us from moving forward. Mine was fear. A ton of imaging had made me afraid that I would hurt myself if I tried to walk without a walker... more

  • Good results

    Formally someone who was living with a never ending daily headache, debilitated by multi-day migraines several times a month, this podcast introduced me to so many tools that helped me out of there and back into a normal life!

    I’m so grateful to Joe and all his guests for providing this much-needed resource

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reinventing Physical Therapy for Hypermobility Care with Erin Carr, PT, DPT
Q: How do you balance high-touch in-clinic care with scalable online offerings to serve the hypermobility community?
She combines hands-on manual therapy with structured online content, including education, exercise libraries, and group classes, while maintaining direct access to herself for questions and personalized guidance.
Reinventing Physical Therapy for Hypermobility Care with Erin Carr, PT, DPT
Q: What prompted the shift to online programs and a platform like the Hypermobility Roadmap?
The pandemic highlighted the need for remote access and ongoing engagement for patients who cannot attend in person, pushing her to build an online movement-based framework that still centers on trust, safety, and a holistic approach.
Reinventing Physical Therapy for Hypermobility Care with Erin Carr, PT, DPT
Q: How did your journey lead you to start Beyond Integrative PT and focus on hypermobility care?
Her entrepreneurial drive from teaching swimming lessons, experience in both cash-based and insurance-based clinics, and a personal passion for slow, patient-centered care converged to launch a flexible practice that could accommodate complex hypermobility needs.
Manual Therapy Through a Pain Science Lens: What's Really Happening with Damian Keter PT, DPT, PhD
Q: What were the main findings of your living review on manual therapy mechanisms and what should clinicians take away from it?
The guest describes a broad umbrella review spanning multiple review types and manual therapy modalities, highlighting that most previously studied domains (neurovascular, neuroimmune, neuromuscular, and biomechanical) show mixed or low-quality evidence. The dominant implication is that no single mechanism is proven to drive outcomes consistently, and clinicians should acknowledge multiple interacting pathways while avoiding over-attributing effects to specific biomechanical changes.
Manual Therapy Through a Pain Science Lens: What's Really Happening with Damian Keter PT, DPT, PhD
Q: Tell me about how your interest in mechanisms of manual therapy began and what shifted your focus toward a pain science framework.
Dr. Keter explains that his journey started with exposure to pain neuroscience and a parallel engagement with various manual therapy trainings. He notes a shift in the field from pathoanatomical explanations to a biopsychosocial model and discusses how patient response, not just technique, should guide treatment decisions. This led to a focus on understanding the mechanisms that underlie differing patient responses to manual therapy and integrating pain science into clinical practice.
