    Matt has an easy going manner to listen too and I’m sure he would say the same of me 😂

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.273 'Understanding Pain in 2026 - Pt2/4 - Predictive Processing & Active Inference'
Q: Does predictive processing preclude the necessity for nociceptive input for pain?
Nociception is still necessary, but chronic pain can occur even with low nociceptive input, as pain is influenced by cognitive beliefs and perceptions about danger.
Ep.273 'Understanding Pain in 2026 - Pt2/4 - Predictive Processing & Active Inference'
Q: Why can't pain be influenced quickly by predictive processing in the same fashion as sound and vision?
Pain is influenced by higher-level cognitive models that include personal history and expectations, which tend to form and extinguish slowly compared to visual models that operate quickly and precisely.
Ep.271 'Neurodivergence in Healthcare - Part 4 of 4: The Neurodivergent Therapist'
Q: How do you deal with the fear of asking to be assessed and then not being diagnosed?
It's common to fear misdiagnosis due to flawed assessment frameworks. Many share this concern, meaning you're not alone.
Ep.266 'Should Sports Therapists Diagnose?' with special guest Anna Maria Mazzieri
Q: What defines who can diagnose in the context of sports therapy?
Diagnosis is limited to regulated health professions as defined by the Medical Act 1983, and sports therapists must navigate their scope carefully.
Ep.258 'New Perspectives On Fascia' with Dr Claire Melanie Boucher and Dr Kyra De Coninck
Q: How can touch massage affect fascia?
It's not melting fascia; it's about mobilizing it, enhancing its suppleness and mobility.
