Why is it needed?
Persistent pain affects 30-50% of us
Its impact is significant, negatively affecting our physical and mental health, our social and home lives and our ability to stay in work.
There are a lot of misconceptions about persistent pain
Most people’s understanding of pain is NOT the full picture. Knowing more about how pain works has been proven to change how we manage it.
Understanding pain is important
This new information can change the way we think about persistent pain, what we do about it, and even how it feels.
Healthcare design and delivery doesn’t always reflect the best scientific understanding
It often fails to fully embrace the complicated biological, psychological and social aspects of pain.
Change is needed
Where better place to start than raising awareness, sharing this science and helping people feel more in control?
How does Flippin' Pain work?
Flippin’ Pain brings a modern understanding of pain to those who need it most: combining community outreach and professional training in a range of unique, engaging and accessible ways.
Inspired by and aligned with the ground-breaking Pain Revolution movement in Australia, we are challenging professionals, patients, and entire populations to rethink pain, re-engage and recover.
