About
Angela Philippus is a clinical researcher whose work bridges mind-body interventions, chronic pain management, and neurorehabilitation. Her primary research areas include chronic low back pain (cLBP), body awareness, and the neural mechanisms underlying non-pharmacological therapies. In her notable 2023 feasibility Phase I randomized clinical trial, Philippus investigated how Spring Forest Qigong™ practice and P.Volve low-intensity exercise can reshape brain network connectivity related to body awareness in adults with cLBP—a condition affecting over 52 million Americans. This work, which has garnered early citations, addresses the urgent need for multidisciplinary, non-opioid approaches to pain management. By demonstrating that targeted movement and meditative practices can modulate neural pathways, Philippus contributes to a growing evidence base for integrative therapies. Her research holds particular significance given the opioid crisis, offering safer alternatives for the millions seeking relief from chronic pain. With a focus on translating ancient practices into measurable neurological outcomes, Philippus is advancing our understanding of how low-risk, accessible interventions can improve quality of life and reduce the personal and economic burden of chronic pain.
