Transforming care for musculoskeletal pain: Impact through Partnership

This work has provided new insights into the mechanisms and treatment of shoulder pain, along with deeper insights into the lived experiences of people with pain. 

 

Karen is joined by Martina Phelan, Chairperson of Chronic Pain Ireland and Ryan Meaney, Physical Activity for Health Officer, Limerick Sports Partnership who are collaborators on Karen’s most recent research project: The “Community Based exercise for chronic pain” COM EX. This study focussed on providing group exercise classes, tailored to the needs of older adults living with chronic pain, in their own communities.  Listen to the impact of the research, the learnings and hear from the collaborators about their positive experience, shaping future research with exercise projects.
