Kai F T Da’Costa

Currently living in Manchester, Kai has come to Flippin’ Pain after having both a personal and professional relationship with persistent pain.

After a motorcycle crash caused lifelong disability, persistent pain, and the loss of a career as a mechanic at age 18, Kai decided to dedicate his time to understanding his own pain and disability through both the musical arts and pain psychology, performing across the country as a musician and spoken word poet. You can listen to ‘Suicide Hope’, a song written about his life with chronic pain, on YouTube.

Whilst completing his psychology MSc, Kai is directing the skills gained through his creative career and applying them to the world of public speaking and public health. As a keen advocate of all things health and well-being, kai also engages in regular gym workouts and yoga, tracking his progress on Instagram page.
