– Sheena, 21, student..

'Ever since I injured my back at work, I have suffered from chronic pain and depression. I hadn't worked for some years, and had rarely socialised. Then, I found this book. I read the book, followed the program, and within weeks, I felt happier and healthier, which led me to find work. After years of suffering, there is hope again,'
– Sandra, 52, injured worker.

About the Author

.
Anjelo Ratnachandra - author
.

Anjelo Ratnachandra was born in Sri Lanka and immigrated to Australia as a child to escape a brutal civil war. Ratnachandra and his family made their home in Glen Waverley, what was then a quiet suburb of Melbourne. He excelled in high school and later graduated from the University of Melbourne with honours before beginning his career as a Physiotherapist. Ratnachandra broadened his knowledge and experience in Physiotherapy by working in private and public clinics in Australia and overseas.

While overseas he pursued his interest in pain management, and after returning to Australia in 2007, he began working in Occupational Rehabilitation. In 2008, he founded Beyond Pain, one of the first private practice chronic pain physiotherapy services in Australia. Beyond Pain has since grown to be more than just a chronic pain service; it also helps people with chronic fatigue and mental illnesses.

Ratnachandra is one of only a few practitioners in the world holding a dual qualification in Physiotherapy and Counselling. He is an award-winning practitioner who has been recognised for his clinical and occupational rehabilitation work. He has assisted in pain studies run by the University of Melbourne and Deakin University (Melbourne), and, has developed ground-breaking concepts such as the Pain Street-Map Analogy, the Life Triad, and the Hierarchy of Being. Further, he has pioneered telehealth, helping clients all over Australia and overseas through videoconferencing. Aside from his clinical and coaching work, Ratnachandra also works with organisations developing wellbeing programs, and, is a popular keynote speaker.

Today, Ratnachandra lives with his family in regional Victoria. He continues to be well respected by his peers and recognised for his work. His vision is to share his knowledge, in particular, his successful pain management program with sufferers all over the world; a vision he is determined to make a reality.
