In this talk, Physiotherapist Georgie Oldfield MCSP explains, using personal experiences as well as observations of her patients why, the more experience she gained from treating chronic pain, the more baffled she became. Using findings from a growing evidence base Georgie demonstrates how she was able to gain clarity and why it is often possible to improve the chance of actual recovery from chronic pain, rather than just having to ‘manage’ the pain.

Eye opening presentation. I’ve had chronic pain for many years.
Excellent! So true! So many doctors don't understand the challenges of chronic pain sufferers.
This is a worrying and dangerous trend in pain management,,,,, I’ve personally had a dreadful experience with medical professionals missing multiple diagnoses including ::scleroderma,herniated disc, snapped hand tendon ,ear infection Medication reaction and more,all of the above was met with the offer of an unwanted cognitive behaviour therapy and the offer of anti depressants ..is a major concern for my future care living with a chronic illness,,,
Good to hear a U.K. voice supporting this method of dealing with chronic conditions.
this talk, I believe, actually did a disservice to those who are being undertreated, not believed, and suffering with long-term debilitating chronic pain for a myriad of different reasons.
I've had a nonstop headache from whiplash on Oct. 1, 1995...and then 2 following injuries. Now, due to bad side effects from a forced jab to keep my job on Sept. 21, 2021, along with other awful symptoms...my headache is life destroyingly worse. I've been to 110+ MDs, healers, chiros, acupuncturists, etc. and no one has ever been able to help me or figure out exactly what's causing the headache. I have been killed by my neck in numerous past lives, which doesn't help matters any. But, I'm doing the TMS program right now to see if there is a chance I'm holding past traumas in my neck and head (and other areas). Now I have back pain too.
Thank you, Georgie, for a brilliant talk - you covered an enormous subject with passion and personal connection, really helping us see that pain may not mean what we think and that there are in fact strategies we can learn to help us recover from persisting pain.
Important subject and very well presented. Thank you for the elaborate and clear presentation, and for making the knowledge more accecible to pain sufferers.
This was an incredible speech. Very well presented. I have had chronic back pain for about 3 years. And according to many different doctors, "I'm healthy." Emotions can get stuck in the body and foster pain. Things can be repressed, and we do not know what the cause of the pain truly is. This is what I am stuck in. 24/7/365. These comments make me feel better knowing I am not so alone with my struggle. Thank you for this beautiful explanation.
Clear and well researched explanation of how the body can create chronic pain via learned nerve pathways in the brain and nervous system in response to a perception of danger which can be emotional or physical. I used to get back pain on my way home from holidays and always blamed the aircraft seats despite the fact that i never got any symptoms on the way out just on the way back, as i returned to my stressful life. Once I learnt about Georgie Oldfield and Dr Sarno and started to respond to stress in my life by setting clear boundaries, noticing how i felt and responding appropriately as opposed to just "going with the flow" or " not making a fuss" then my backpain gradually reduced. Read Georgie's book if you want to know more about how you can take responsibility for resolving your chronic pain.
So fantastic to have someone in the UK so in tune with dr Sarno and tms (tension myositis syndrome)! It’s saved so many people from a life of suffering.
I'm having ear pain from the constant feedback that plagues this presentation. Kudos for you for sticking with it through that distraction.
I’m struggling to convince myself that my chronic pain is from the brain / nervous system
Thank you Georgie. What a fantastic talk. I have been learning so much on this biopsychosocial approach recently and it is so powerful. Your explanation really captures it so well, you do amazing work.
Sounds good but what about world's worst pain trigeminal neuralgia where one can not talk, laugh, eat , can you explain how can we train brain to ignore this bloody pain
This is such a great presentation! Thank you. I have learnt a lot, it is most inspiring for everyone to understand the complex relationship between our body and brain.
Thank you for this Georgie, This work has been a real eye opener for me and has helped me to help my patients within my NHS GP practice
Thank you Georgie :)
Ever since finding Dr Sarno’s book I am opened up to this world and find more and more people trying to spread the word. Doubters are just resisting truth and are not ready to face their emotions.
I loved this. But with triggers and ringing in Mic I had to stop. My tinnitus was ringing badly.
