Join us in this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast as we sit down with Brian Polling to explore groundbreaking research on why people with knee osteoarthritis avoid physical activity despite its known benefits. Brian shares insights from a study using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to uncover subconscious beliefs associating movement with danger. We delve into how these implicit threat associations differ from explicit beliefs and the implications for clinical practice. Brian also shares his personal journey from physical therapy training in the U.S. to becoming a leading researcher in Australia. This episode is packed with valuable information for clinicians looking to improve pain management strategies and help patients move more confidently.
