BETTER PAIN Research Published in Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology

EXPHYS BETTER PAIN research has been published in the Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology (JCEP) 🎓 Exercise physiologist-led pain science coaching via telehealth improved pain and function in life insurance claimants: a pragmatic cohort study. 


A timely announcement in line with National Pain Week 2024, Australia’s annual awareness event for chronic pain.

Dr Vicky Phillips, General Manager and Senior Exercise Physiologist, presented this research, as a finalist for the Practitioner Award, at the Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Research to Practice 2024 Conference in Sydney. 


This study provided retrospective analysis of a pain science program delivered by the wider EXPHYS team, to 1,275 people living with persistent pain. Exercise physiologist-led pain science coaching resulted in clinically meaningful pain reduction and functional improvements, return to work outcomes, and positive customer experience. A wonderful collaboration between EXPHYS, Deakin University and AIA Australia.
