Congratulations to @AnnaMHood1 on receiving the Ulf Lindblom Young Investigator Prize for Clinical Science at #WC2024! Your lecture on 'Minoritised Youth and Chronic Pain: Addressing Inequities' is a powerful call to action against systemic #racism in #painresearch.

When the evidence challenges our current way of thinking and practicing, it's not challenging our identity as a person, but sometimes we take it that way and cling hard to defend/protect it.
We can either put our head down and keep going, or we can integrate it and shift a little

"Peeing, pooping and sex are all meant to be pleasurable." The tissues and nerves that bring these actions about are all sensitive as normal, so when we assess/touch these areas, be gentle.
If a person experience these actions with pain, we don't need to poke them to prove it.

With neurodynamics: "what you move first moves most, and what you move last moves least because you've already taken up the slack. This matters when we are using this for therapy for pain. There is no way of knowing what's best for the person, go slow, watch their breathing."

Standing on the shoulders of giants, modern pain-informed therapists are able to navigate the complexity and struggle of pain with patients and clients.
Who's shoulders are we standing on?

Audre Lorde asking me "how do you use your rage" is the most sensual qnd connecting moment I've had with a text.
Because its the right question.
@paingeeks currently reading Audre Lorde's collections essays in The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house
