Presenters

Jim Stark - Unitied States

My name is Jim Stark. I am a PT in the US with a focus on working with folks living with persisting pain. My clinical focus is attempting to guide my patients toward exploring strategies that benefit them, not telling them exercises that they must do.

I tell my patients that on a good week they will be in therapy less than 2 hours a week. That leaves them with 166 hours on their own. Exploring new strategies may help them to find better ways of managing their lives in a way that can move them toward their goals.
