Richmond Stace — Chronic Pain Specialist, The Pain Coach, Chartered Physiotherapist – is here to help you understand your pain as that first step to moving on.

He will be joined by members of the Footsteps Festival team, Louise Trewern and Niki Jones who both have lived experience of persistent pain.

Richmond will give a brief talk about the latest thinking in pain, bringing the modern science and philosophy to you in a practical way.

Then he will answer your questions, which you can send in before or put in the chat on the day.

The event will be recorded and put on the Footsteps Festival YouTube channel but if you can make it to the live event that would be great! All those who sign up will be sent a link to the recording.
