Partnering with Pain Revolution
The EQUiPP team are excited to be partnering with the upcoming Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour of the Limestone Coast and Western Victoria. The EQUIPP team will be represented by Dr Louise Wiles, Dr Aaron Davis, and Prof Ian Gwilt, hosting a marketplace stall at each of the Pain Revolution community outreach events.
Dr Davis and Dr Wiles have been working closely with the Pain Revolution team to build an exciting and engaging experience for community members who attend the outreach events, while at the same time kickstarting our research.
While we won’t be riding our bikes the 750km, we will be working hard to engage with communities in Mt Gambier, Millicent, Naracoorte, Hamilton, Ararat, Stawell and Horsham. Find out more about Pain Revolution and the Tour.
About the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour
A peloton of passionate pain experts is set to cycle across regional SA and Victoria in a push to revolutionise what we think and know about persistent pain.
Sponsored by UniSA and AIA Australia, the Pain Revolution team will cycle 750km from Mount Gambier to Horsham between 14-21 September, delivering dynamic seminars about the science of pain and what people struggling with chronic pain can do to create positive change.
Comprising a cycling team of 21 dedicated pain researchers, clinicians, carers, and champions (and supported by a 16-person crew) the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour will commence at Mount Gambier on 14 September, cycling to Beachport, Coonawarra, Hamilton, Ararat, and Halls Gap, ending in Horsham on Saturday 21 September.
At locations along the way, the Pain Revolution will deliver free ‘The Science of Why We Hurt’ sessions for local communities to better understand the complex science behind pain in an accessible and entertaining way.
The team will also offer two special half-day events for health professionals: PainFest in Mount Gambier and Pain SkillsFest in Horsham to expand their knowledge of pain and help inform best practice.
