Research In Profile
My initial research focussed on sciatica – its clinical examination, diagnosis, pain mechanisms and effects on disability and psychosocial factors. I subsequently researched the effects of different genotypes on pain sensitivity. Recently I have researched the effects of breath holding during exercise.
