Bronwyn Thompson, PhD, MSc (Psych): Making the First Contact

2022-06-12T11:00:21+10:00October 18, 2021|Blog, Health Management, Research|

There's so much to love about Bronwyn's work. As a resource that is so heavily focused on the identity and experience of the person living with chronic pain, PainTrain My Health Summary believe the approaches explained by Bronwyn is key to successfully helping people manage their complex journeys. A patient's introduction to a new practitioner is a stressful time and one that requires clear communication and empathy. A PainTrain health summary works as an exceptional aid to this scenario. Empowering patients by listening and grasping their experiences as well as accepting them without judgment should be step one in the management of chronic pain. Thank you Bronnie!

As health tech creeps up in the medical industry, it's becoming clearer healthcare's direction is changing and PainTrain MHS are thrilled that people are finally being placed in the driver's seat. Patients: have you thought about trying to enhance your voice at appointments? Have you wanted to tell your story your way and elaborate on the version your General Practitioner writes in the referral letter? Do you feel unheard during ongoing appointments and that no one truly understands [...]

Pain Management Network: Communicating & building your healthcare team

2022-06-12T10:58:54+10:00August 1, 2021|Blog, Health Management|

Living with a chronic condition means that you will have a different role with your healthcare providers than you would have if you had a short-term illness. Your role in managing your condition will be a more pro-active one where you will be involved in making decisions about many things that affect you, your healthcare management, your family, and your lifestyle.

Soula’s Pain Management Video Resources

2022-06-12T11:04:00+10:00March 27, 2021|Blog, Health Management|

A video library is forming on pudendalnerve.com.au! Soula's advocacy has transformed into video conversations with some of the people who have made a significant impact in her pain management and/or who have inspired Soula in some way. It's one thing for Soula to present her thoughts about these people but quite another to hear them explain their point of view. Soula presents chats with Theo Mantalvanos on being a 'carer', she reunites with her diagnosing physiotherapist Anne-Florence Plante (now working in Marsais, France) who shares her wealth of knowledge specifically on what pain is and the role of trauma. Deb Thompson – a creative kindred spirit who lives with pain gives her perspective of what it's like living with pain and communicating it. We also learn about the Alexander Technique from Maddy Lock who worked with Soula during one of Soula's toughest pain years, Amy Eicher talks about pain coaching and Soula presents a couple of videos about her daily life.

Each year, Pain Revolution and a team of passionate and dedicated cyclists hit the road in order to host free community-based pain education to both health professionals and the general public.

Raising funds To help with the fundraiser this year, Soula turned to kindred spirits – artists are pretty empathic creatures. The first who [...]

PainTrain, Pain Revolution & Michael Leunig Unite For the Rural Outreach Tour

2020-01-22T13:30:00+11:00January 21, 2020|Blog|

One thing to be sure of when it comes to pain is its ability to unite people – people that may have never met otherwise. Soula’s fundraising efforts have always included Pain Revolution. In addition to believing that Pain Revolution’s approach to sharing contemporary pain science and building capacity is crucial in how we approach pain care, Pain Revolution also believes in Soula. We all need to stick together. Together, we unite our missions, connections and resources in [...]

Neos Kosmos Chronic Pain: the Treacherous Disease that Steals the Lives of Thousands

2019-10-04T16:42:32+10:00October 4, 2019|Blog, Media|

(Excerpt from Neos Kosmos feature story by MAΡΙΑ ΚΑΜΠΥΛH 25 September 2019) Πρόκειται για μια ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα καταγραφής του ατομικού ιστορικού των πασχόντων από χρόνιο πόνο έτσι ώστε να μην χρειάζεται κάθε φορά που επισκέπτονται τους διάφορους ειδικούς να επαναλαμβάνουν τις ίδιες πληροφορίες ξανά και ξανά κάτι που είναι τρομερά ψυχοφθόρο για τους ίδιους, όπως μας διαβεβαιώνει η Σούλα εξηγώντας μας πώς ξεκίνησε η ιδέα του Pain train. It is a digital recording platform for chronic pain sufferers' personal [...]
