Who are the biggest names in the back pain world? Correct – Peter O’Sullivan is one of them.

He's provocative, clinically-relevant, and vastly experienced. He’s desperate to help patients, that’s obvious! But not everyone has to agree. Listen to his take on management of both chronic, and acute, back pains – does it make sense to you?

Peter O’Sullivan is Professor of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Curtin University, Perth, (http://goo.gl/Dk6beV)and a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who consults at bodylogicphysiotherapy.com.
