Book Launch: Back Up
Join us for a very special launch with Liam Mannix, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald's national science reporter, to celebrate the launch of his new book, Back Up, focusing on why back pain treatments aren’t working and the new science offering hope.
Liam Mannix is one of the many who experience back pain, and he takes this as a starting point for this compelling and urgent work of investigative journalism. A theory has emerged, born from cutting-edge neuroscience, that claims back pain often has little to do with the back or the discs or the spine. Instead, back pain is all about the brain. This new development offers new solutions — including, remarkably, evidence that just by teaching people this theory of pain we can reduce it.
Mannix will be joined in conversation by Rachel Williamson, fellow journalist who has written for publications including The Australian, Forbes, the Financial Times and Foreign Policy.
