The Hurting Strings – An Artist’s Story of Pain

2023-09-18T12:36:25+10:00September 18, 2023|Advocacy, Blog, Media|

The Hurting Strings, an award-winning documentary was created by Australian filmmaker Peter Lamont in 2014 and has had thousands of views resonating with so many people living with invisible illness. It is a little sad that the film still has so much meaning, in fact, it's still relevant so many years later. I truly wish it wasn't.

Giulia and Soula had a lengthy conversation covering the frustrations of living with chronic pain – the main issues being its invisible nature, access to treatments, and its impact on communities across Australia (worldwide, actually).

2022-06-12T10:40:01+10:00December 6, 2021|Blog, Media, Using My Health Story|

(Original post by Soula Mantalvanos for pudendalnerve.com.au) It was wonderful sharing my story and vision at the Murray City Coast Country GP Training.

I've now participated in a few of the Murray City Coast Country (MCCC) GP Training sessions with the fabulous Dr Paul Grinzi (boy, does he get it!). It's a positive experience for [...]

Talking HealthTech: Soula in the Hot Seat With Pete

2021-11-13T15:30:01+11:00November 13, 2021|Blog, Media|

Soula joined pain organisations, forums and online groups and has told her story in the media and at conferences to help with pain management training and the establishment of great connections through her advocacy website pudendalnerve.com.au. But! Soula doesn't want to just keep repeating her story; our founder likes to inspire change! "I wanted to join a community that grasped creative communication, design and ideation relating to health. I wanted to be with conceptualists where ideas are produced and not measured (data, data, data… boring!)." In her attempts to implement PainTrain MHS formally into the healthcare industry, she found herself bumping into the Health Tech communities more and more. This is a world of movers and shakers, and one such community is Talking Healthtech (THT). THT was founded by Peter Birch. Peter worked in management roles in healthcare organisations for over 15 years; big ones and small ones, innovative startups and slow-moving beasts; he's seen all different kinds. Pete has experienced the exciting developments and the frustrating stagnation of all the ups and downs in health.
