Pioneering Research into Low Back Pain and Migraines/Headaches – Dr Jerry Draper-Rodi

Jerry graduated in France in 2007 and moved to the UK in 2009. He works in private clinical practice and is an Associate Professor at the University College of Osteopathy. He completed his doctorate in 2016 on the biopsychosocial management of low back pain with a main focus on translating evidence in clinical practice.

Jerry’s interests centre around the management, treatment and care of those with long-term musculoskeletal pain. He is currently the primary investigator on two projects: OSCaR, a single case experimental design on low back pain and UrGEnT, a mixed methods study on the experience of students from underrepresented groups in osteopathic training and all UK osteopathy students’ cultural humility. He also works in collaboration with the Osteopaths for Progress in Headaches and Migraines (OPHM) on an educational project on headaches.
