Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

040 - Psychology of Pain with Nick Papastamatis
Q: How do we know that we have an injury that can't be pushed through versus something that we can train through?
If someone's just a bit niggly, you can usually work through that, but if it's more than a four out of ten, that’s starting to get concerning.
040 - Psychology of Pain with Nick Papastamatis
Q: How do you then take this information that you've just shared and develop questioning to your patients?
My approach in the clinic is quite intuitive; I'm listening to what they're saying and not saying, and reading their body language.
040 - Psychology of Pain with Nick Papastamatis
Q: How do those three things then interact with one another?
They are completely interconnected, and anything that happens in a relationship in the social model can create emotional overload that is linked to pain sensitivity.
037 - Evie Corrigan
Q: How much does your training structure change going between weight classes?
It didn't change much due to dropping down; changes were more about what worked for me.
037 - Evie Corrigan
Q: How did it feel to actually win Sheffield?
It was overwhelming, disbelief, hard to wrap my head around it.
