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.

PT Going Forward

2022-06-12T11:04:56+10:00November 21, 2020|Blog, Using My Health Story|

It is my absolute pleasure to let everyone know that PainTrain (PT) is being resurrected! No thanks to the horrid CV-19, telehealth has been catapulted into action. As the founder of PT, I saw this as an opportunity for the online ‘patient speaking’ resource. Telehealth is key to advancing healthcare but its implementation was lagging and that was impacting PT’s growth. That’s all changed with CV-19. Forced to use telehealth, professionals and patients have experienced another method for [...]

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

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 [...]
