While she now still endures pain, it is manageable and feels, as a result of having a new positive relationship with her body.

Cormac is Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation at Teesside University. He is the figurehead of the Flippin’ Pain Campaign – a public health campaign created and delivered by people with pain, health professionals, and scientists. Flippin’ Pain aims to Flip the way people think about, talk about, and treat persistent pain.

Cormac has delivered presentations and seminars about understanding pain to over 10,000 people in the UK and internationally. Why? Because, over the past 50+ years scientific knowledge of persistent pain has increased enormously, but very little of that knowledge has reached the average person on the street. Thus, there are many myths and misconceptions about pain, which act as barriers to good pain management and contribute to the suffering of many millions of people.

Cormac’s mission is to take this scientific knowledge and, in an entertaining and engaging way, put that information into the hands of people who need it the most - people with pain, their friends, relatives, and health professionals - so that we can bust these myths leading to better pain management for all.
