Your Chronic Pain Explained by a Physical Therapist

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 09:08:00 -0000

Understanding Chronic Pain with Lachlan Sutton | Complete Physio Podcast

In this episode, chronic pain specialist Lachlan Sutton breaks down what chronic pain actually is, why it persists long after injury, and what you can do about it. We cover the difference between acute and persistent pain, why the "wear and tear" narrative around conditions like osteoarthritis is often more harmful than helpful, and how the nervous system plays a far bigger role in ongoing pain than most people realize. Lachlan explains the three types of pain, how to read the signs that something more complex is going on, and why movement — not rest — is almost always the answer. We also get into how physio for chronic pain actually works: from functional assessment and goal setting to graded exposure, fear of movement, and why education might be the single most powerful treatment of all.
