NOI group - https://www.noigroup.com/

We feature two prominent speakers: Luke Bongiorno, Director of Noigroup, and Brendan Mouatt, Accredited Exercise Physiologist. 

The speakers delve into profound questions about pain, the purpose of the NOI group, and the challenges clinicians face. They explore the evolving landscape of pain neuroscience, factors influencing treatment outcomes, and the difficulty in conveying the complex nature of persistent pain to patients. The conversation extends to the empowering aspects of understanding pain's multifactorial nature and the role of the neuroimmune system. The episode promises insights into addressing pain comprehensively, bridging research and practice, and enhancing patient understanding. Tune in to unravel the mysteries of pain science and its practical applications in healthcare. 


Luke acquired the directorship of Noigroup in March 2021 from the founders David Butler and Juliet Gore. His degree from The University of Melbourne, Australia, followed by a move into clinical practice in New York. In NYC, Luke co-founded New York Sports Medicine.
Luke’s extensive experience in the management of acute and chronic pain and sports injuries demands that he travel extensively to manage professional and Olympic athletes, as well as touring performing arts/dance company members. He currently serves as a consultant with the NBA League as well as European soccer professional teams. Luke is also affiliated with the clinical education programs of Columbia University and Touro College.
He has taught advanced skills courses in Manual Therapy internationally since 2004 and has been on the NOI faculty since 2015. 
He is currently involved in clinical research focused on injury management and is developing guidelines for injury prevention in sports medicine and in the workplace.


Brendan Mouatt
Brendan is a practising Accredited Exercise Physiologist in Adelaide, Australia. For over ten years, Brendan has been a director of multiple private practices in Melbourne and has delivered continuing education internationally since 2016. More recently, in 2023, Brendan joined the team at Noigroup.
Brendan’s master’s research (exploring how visual sensory information influences the perception of effort during exercise) and his clinical experience working as an Exercise Physiologist in the musculoskeletal injury and pain field inspired him to pursue a PhD. His doctoral research focuses on how beliefs, behaviours, and perceptions (especially during clinical interactions) impact patients’ recovery from pain
