Dr Mark Overton is a Senior Lecturer and Physiotherapist who has worked clinically in an interdisciplinary pain management and rehabilitation team for 10+ years. He completed his PhD at the University of Otago in New Zealand, where he led the Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Experiences (U-KOPE) study. This study involved collecting psychosocial and lifestyle factors related to the knee osteoarthritis pain experience using an intensive smartphone daily diary method (Ecological Momentary Assessment). Participants in this study also underwent Quantitative Sensory Testing to assess their ‘pain sensitivity’ and explore potential predictors of knee osteoarthritis outcomes.
