Asaf (Klaf) Weisman

Mr.

Asaf (Klaf) Weisman is a physiotherapist with two decades of clinical experience in orthopedic/musculoskeletal rehabilitation. He is a Ph.D. student and the lab manager of the Spinal Research Laboratory at Tel-Aviv University’s “Sackler School of Medicine” in Israel, where his studies revolve around pain, chronic pain, and spinal health. In the last eight years, he has been an active researcher, contributing to peer-reviewed scientific journals with his research findings. Asaf’s enduring fascination with pain, sparked by his skateboarding hobby, has prompted him to spend 20 years engrossed in the professional literature on the subject. His former career as a magician also grants him unique perspectives into clinical research and an understanding of psychological biases inherent in clinical practice. Asaf’s research interests include pain, chronic pain, spinal biomechanics and morphometry, and philosophy of science.
