SMA Study Evening with 

Julia Gover

Thursday 18^th July

Pain and the Brain

Content:

In this session, Julia will cover why hurt is not the same as harm, why everything matters when it comes to pain, why medicines and surgeries are often not the answer and why understanding pain is key.

Biography:  Julia lives in the North West of England, she qualified as a chiropractor in 2012. She now helps to run the specialist Pain Faculty for the Royal College of Chiropractors and is due to complete her MSc in Pain Science and management this year.

She completed her first Flippin’ Pain tour in 2021 and found it hugely rewarding, talking to the public, patients, and healthcare professionals about pain. She is particularly interested in how people’s understanding of their own bodies affects their relationship with pain, and she even has her own TED Talk!
