Research into the role of the brain in chronic pain
BiM News
With the release of The Graded Motor Imagery Handbook this spring, Noigroup (Neuro Orthopaedic Institute) takes itself, and by extension, the physiotherapy profession, out of “tissues”, past the foramen magnum, and into the brain,
which provides (at least to this PT reviewer) a bridge across the Cartesian chasm that long ago divided the branch of the profession which considers itself “Neuro”, from the one that considers itself “Ortho”;
this bridge is built from fifteen years of deep Noigroup marination in neuro and pain science and education....

Who are we?
The Body in Mind Research Group is based at The Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and Neuroscience Research Australia in Sydney. We have active collaborations with researchers scattered around the world. Together we are seeking a better understanding of the interaction between the body, brain and mind in chronic and complex pain disorders.
Are you looking for information?
We often get people writing in about their particular conditions asking for more information and help. Unfortunately we get too many to be able to respond personally. We do not publish these comments for privacy reasons and we cannot offer treatment advice. If you want more information on what we know about CRPS you might find this article helpful. You can also read recent research published by the team and browse through our blog articles.
We aim to…
facilitate and disseminate good clinical science research. We love comments that engage with the research and are constructive and respectful. No self-promotion of your particular therapy please (these comments get filed in the recycling bin).
We do not prescribe treatments.
What about you?
Take this quick survey to tell us who visits BiM.

We were just having this discussion in clinic today. Thanks for the video, I think that this is general information that experienced therapists may have forgotten and new therapists are not learning.

Cute video. A simple, although thorough explanation of pain. I must state that continual tissue damage can occur with Chronic Pain (i.e. Chronic Inflamatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy), as the video does not cover. One other note: In certain medical conditions (i.e. Guillain-Barre Syndrome), the body’s connective tissue does not heal within the time frame stated within the video. Well worth watching – awesome artist!
