Episode 8: Claire Samanna & Chris Neason - Effects of running on low back pain and intervertebral discs - the ASTEROID trial

Was great to sit down with Claire and Chris and talk about the ASTEROID trial. We get into the self-report outcomes, the objective IVD outcomes, and the qualitative outcomes of the trial. Claire and Chris are both PhD candidates (at the end of their candidature) at Monash. Their Bios, where to find them, and links to the trial and protocol are below:

Claire Samanna:

Claire Samanna is a PhD Candidate from Monash University and an Accredited Exercise Physiologist for the last eight years. Claire’s desire to continually grow and learn tied in with her deep passion for understanding andhelping those experiencing chronic low back pain led her to undertake a PhD in low back pain and specifically in how intervertebral discs respond to exercise. She is a member of the Australian Pain Society and recently presented herresearch findings at the Australian Pain Society conference and the Exercise Sports Science Research to Practice conference. Claire’s hobbies include keeping active with race walking and running and traveling as much and as oftenas she can. Claire’s personal experiences with her own injuries drive her desire to improve the healthcare standards and narratives patients in pain receive, to create better pathways for those experiencing chronic pain.
