...a global community of readers, clinicians and thinkers.
Pain Geeks is a place to explore the science and philosophy behind the phenomenon of pain. Together, we look at new and classic resources, discuss, and find support for integrating this information with our existing understanding.
We are a group of clinicians passionate about understanding pain and dedicated to drawing on philosophy, science, rehabilitation and the humanities to help inform our skillset to supporting people experiencing pain.
What's included in Pain Geeks?
Monthly Discussions
Structured community discussions with other Pain Geeks from around the world. Together we explore the readings and share our thoughts.
Video Library
We meet regularly with pain experts and leading researchers to film discussions for you to enjoy at your leisure. We often do the discussions live so members can attend to ask questions in real time! There are included in the Super Geek Membership, but are also for individual sale here.
Journal Club
New readings curated for you every month exploring pain from a particular theme. Readings are from a wide variety of scientific fields, including philosophy, humanities, sociology and biology. This is to help us develop our understanding of pain from a wide context.
Workshops
The place on Pain Geeks where we invite clinicians, researchers or experts in the field to give a focused workshop on a specific topic. Check out the workshops section on the website to learn more.
Book Club
Every 3 months we read a book related to pain and/or the humanities. On the 3rd month of the book club, we come together for a community discussion. Read along with us as we make our way through the piles of pain books on nightstands around the world - we know you have them!
