It's quite technical but looks really interesting! I'm registering - I just need to remember to attend (lol)

Webinar: Exercise-Induced Pain and Analgesia: Role of the Innate Immune System
by PRF Team on 21 Oct 2016
PRF will host a webinar with Kathleen Sluka, University of Iowa, Iowa City, US, on Friday, November 18, from 12-1:30 p.m. Eastern (US) time/5-6:30 p.m. GMT/6-7:30 p.m. CET.
Sluka will discuss her research on immune mechanisms underlying pain responses to regular physical activity. After her talk, there will be a panel discussion featuring:
Hoeger Bement, Grace, and Bushnell
Here is an abstract of Sluka’s talk:
Regular physical activity (exercise) can reduce pain in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, whereas unaccustomed exercise can exacerbate pain. This apparent dichotomy in pain response to physical activity is poorly understood, making exercise prescription for individuals with pain challenging. The mechanisms driving this apparent dichotomy in pain response to physical activity are not well understood, and present a barrier to activity-based treatment.
We propose that this dichotomy may in large part be explained by the plasticity of the immune system, and is modulated by physical activity levels. We will discuss the role of local immune cells, muscle macrophages, underlying the effects of an acute bout of exercise on pain using recently developed animal models of exercise-induced pain and the effects of regular physical activity in preventing chronic pain. Understanding these interactions will give us a better comprehension of the underlying biology to improve the overall management of people with chronic musculoskeletal pain as well as prevent development of chronic pain.
