The best pain outcomes begin with the best conversations!

Since presenting at the Massage & Myotherapy Australia Conference, I had the pleasure of chatting with Elicia and Christine from The Health Leader Podcast to continue the conversation.

We explored why chronic pain is more than just symptoms and why understanding the protective patterns of the nervous system can completely change the way we approach treatment.

Not what their scan says.
Not what someone else experienced.
Doesn’t follow the rules, or even make sense...

The same is true for so much of life!

We don't get to measure someone else's grief, stress, fear, overwhelm, or struggle against our own ruler.

Every nervous system experiences the world differently.

Get curious 🤔 x

One of the things I hoped therapists would see is how powerful what we do really is❤️

Not just the techniques, but our ability to look beyond symptoms and see the human behind the chronic pain.
The case study I presented showed what becomes possible when we understand our client's nervous system, trauma, isolation, and the protective patterns that develop over decades.

A huge thank you to Massage & Myotherapy Australia for the award and to everyone who attended. Your curiosity, engagement and openness created such a warm room for me to present in💞

I’ve been awarded the 2026 Conference Case Study Scholarship at the Massage and Myotherapy National Conference on Multidisciplinary Healthcare for Chronic Pain.

Kind of ironic considering I’ve spent years saying I’m not technical enough to be a case study therapist.

Although after 25 years working solely with chronic pain, I’ve come to realise that the most important clinical changes happen when we stop chasing tissue alone and understand the nervous system, trauma behaviour and protection more clearly.

Pretty grateful for the opportunity to share this work at the conference!
