Trigger Points With Paul Ingraham

/in , , , , , /by

 

This week we have our second guest on the podcast the one and only Paul Ingraham.

Paul Ingraham is a Vancouver science journalist and publishing entrepreneur and a former Registered Massage Therapist.  He left that profession over concerns about pseudoscientific beliefs and practices, and went on to create PainScience.com, a website about the science of pain, injury, treatment, and rehab. He has written hundreds of articles and ten books on these themes (and about half of those are about repetitive strain injuries).  He’s also a reluctant runner and an avid ultimate player with a long list of his own sports injuries and pain problems. He is currently sheltering in place with his wife, still hiding from SARS-CoV-2, working on his next book and an endless supply of science updates to PainScience.com.
