About this listen

 In this episode, Glyn and Konrad talk to Julia Smith, specialist physiotherapist, and Anne Marie van Es, specialist occupational therapist. Both of them work at the Oxford Centre for Children and Young People in Pain (OXCYPP). They discuss how they perceive their roles within a pain management programme, how it differs from the way they were trained and from the way OTs and PTs in other areas may work. They also give advice to OTs and PTs who work with pain patients but not within the context of a pain management programme. Julia and Anne Marie tell us their favourite place on earth, their pet hates, and who they admire in the pain world. Anne Marie also reveals why she was nearly thrown out of the cinema!
