Episode 133: Nociception IS Necessary For Pain – Rethinking “Pain Science” w/ Asaf Klaf Weisman



On this show, we welcome a very special guest Asaf Klaf Weisman. Asaf is a clinician and a researcher, who for the better part of the last decade has really challenged some of the conventional wisdom around contemporary pain science, pain neuroscience education, and the biopsychosocial model as a whole. For this convo, we use the widely accepted aphorism of “Nociception is neither necessary nor sufficient for pain” as an example to anchor to what might be, at best, a claim formed on shaky evidence and at worst, just plain wrong, misleading, and keeping the field from moving forward.

Zak leads this interview, and we unpack many layers. It’s a dense show, so make sure you eat something, buckle in and prepare for some mind melt in the best way. The Brain Gainz come off the back end of that.

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 132: A Third Path For The PT w/ MovementX



On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor welcome two special guests onto the show – Josh D’Angelo and Rich Ortiz of MovementX

Josh is a co-founder of MovementX, which is a company that is providing Physical Therapists with unique employment opportunities that help them both scratch the entrepreneurial itch, but also provide stability within an established and trusted brand. It was really cool to hear Josh tell the founding story and go into what makes MovementX such a unique company to work for, and in turn, to bringing great care to their clientele. And Rich Ortiz is one of those bright shining star Physical Therapists who’s crushing it within the MovementX umbrella, so it was cool to get that perspective as well – and Rich also recently completed the clinical Athlete provider certification, so he’s a great example of someone who is really trying to maximize their professional development gainz. 

We go into a ton more – what can rehab professionals do to connect with their communities and educate them on what value they bring to the table, what can new grads do, or anybody looking for growth really, to find those new opportunities, and a ton more. It really was a great conversation.

We hope you enjoy!
