About
G. Lorimer Moseley is a world-renowned pain scientist whose research has fundamentally reshaped how we understand and treat chronic pain. His key contributions lie at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and rehabilitation, particularly exploring how the brain constructs pain and how this process can be retrained. He is best known for pioneering the concept of "explaining pain" and developing graded motor imagery and mirror therapy, which are now standard clinical tools. His work on the role of the body schema and cortical reorganization in conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) has been highly influential; his 2011 computational model of fixed dystonia in CRPS, which implicates dysfunctional GABAergic interneurons, has garnered over 45 citations and remains a cornerstone of the field. With an h-index exceeding 80 and over 30,000 total citations, Moseley is among the most cited pain researchers globally. He is also the co-author of the bestselling book *Explain Pain*, a Professor of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of South Australia, and a passionate educator whose work empowers clinicians and patients alike to understand pain as a protective output of the brain, not a measure of tissue damage.
