Sex Matters-multimedia painting made for Joseph Lesnak PT, PhD for his successful defense. He studied muscle-neuro-immune mechanisms of pain in a sex specific manner. Background is collaged with sex hormones and layers show muscle fibers, immune cells and nociceptors. #sciart #neuroart

This project captured all my research interests during my PhD: muscle pain mechanisms, sex differences, and exercise. More importantly, it was great to work with such a great team: Kazuhiro Hayashi, Ashley Plumb, Adam Janowski, Kathleen Sluka. First of many articles to come from our team

Our recently published systematic review led by Kazuhiro Hayashi shows pre-habilitation exercise is beneficial for post-operative pain, function, and quality of life within first 6 months across various surgeries #Exerciseworks Adam Janowski Kathleen Sluka academic.oup.com/ptj/article/10…

New manuscript from our amazing team looking at rigor in pain research trends over the last 10 years, led by Ashley Plumb with Joseph Lesnak PT, PhD Giovanni Berardi Adam Janowski Kazuhiro Hayashi Angela Smith, Carol Vance, and DPT students.
