Geoff is a rheumatologist
practising in Melbourne, Australia and is director of the Monash
Medical Centre, Rheumatology Department. He has been particularly
interested in fibromyalgia since his training in Toronto in the
late seventies when doctors Harvey Moldofsky and Hugh Smythe were
recognizing fibromyalgia as a definable problem. He has continued
to explore mechanisms and management strategies for fibromyalgia
over the last two decades. He has been interested in the overlap
of the fibromyalgia syndrome with other chronic pain syndromes
such as whiplash, post-injury low back pain, RSI and overuse syndrome.
He has published widely, and talks regularly to health professionals
and people with such problems nationally and internationally.
