\\n\\u2018Movement is medicine\\u2019 for people in pain, says consultant physiotherapist Eve Jenner. But it\\u2019s about more than just exercise \\u2013 physiotherapists can help people understand pain, know the difference between \\u2018hurt and harm\\u2019 and get a better night\\u2019s sleep. Understanding pain matters for doctors and public health officials too, argues pioneer of pain management services Professor Michael Bond. It\\u2019s not just political correctness to look at pain as a problem in itself; it\\u2019s a question of biology. Changes in the spinal cord make pain persist. Getting the message across could be a matter of life and death. Research suggests that delays in the diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain can reduce life expectancy, Dr Manohar Sharma says. He explains why working as a team of different specialists, including the person in pain, is crucial for making the complex spinal interventions he specialises in succeed.
