Lachlan Townend
Clinical Co-founder of Pain Coach
Lachlan is a physiotherapist and clinical co-founder of Pain Coach. During his postgraduate pain science studies, he realised, “Pain is complex, but people need simple, actionable advice.” That insight sparked Pain Coach - a clear, practical solution to a challenging problem.
Pain Coach is a clinical tool that tracks key lifestyle factors - sleep, exercise, social connection, psychological distress, and nutrition - alongside pain. Pain Coach analyses patient data and provides insights including correlations, trends, and lifestyle scores.
Pain Coach is growing and onboarding clinics across Australia and beyond.
