Been told your joints are just "wear and tear"? Listen to this first.

This is the talk from our Mobility Workshop in Stockton. What's really going on when a joint hurts, and what you can do about it.

This is for anyone who's been told to "take it easy", to stick to low impact, or to give up the thing they love.

What we get into:

• Why pain is an experience, and why a scan can't show it
• The buckled bike wheel, and why planks can make back pain worse
• Quick fixes, placebo and kinesiology tape
• What astronauts teach us about joints
• Why your cartilage needs load to stay fed
• Why "just stop running" is bad advice
• Liz, who started 8 weeks after a full knee replacement

Had a scan for joint or back pain and the words on the report frightened you? You need to hear this.

Professor Cormac Ryan is Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation at Teesside University. He did his PhD in pain and has spent 20+ years researching people living with long-term pain. He's also part of the Flipping Pain campaign.

What we get into:

• Why 8 out of 10 people aged 50 with NO back pain show "degenerative changes" on a scan
• How being scanned with no red flags can leave you worse off, and what fixes it
• Why hurt does not always mean harm
• Pain as an alarm system that gets stuck on "too sensitive"
• Why exercise is in every NICE guideline for long-term pain
• The Harvard cream study that changed how we coach
• Why a group that knows your name turns the alarm down
