Myths and Facts of Back Pain & Endometriosis (Geraldton)

Free Community Event: Uncover the Myths and Facts about Low Back Pain and Endometriosis

Join physiotherapist, researcher, and lecturer Dr. Kevin Wernli, PhD (low back pain) for an engaging and educational seminar on low back pain and endometriosis. 

Kevin, co-founder of Matilda Health and former co-host/producer of the Empowered Beyond Pain podcast, will debunk common myths and share scientific facts that can help you, your loved ones, or your patients live better with these conditions.

Event Highlights:

• Informal and interactive educational session
• Learn
  • Why posture isn't as important as we used to think for back pain
  • Whether imaging findings like disc bulges or protrusions are irrelevant
  • How pain is actually produced in the body
  • Why endometriosis pain is not just 'normal period pain' (if there is such a thing)
  • and more! 
• Complimentary refreshments and snacks kindly provided by Central West Health and Rehabilitation

Who is this event for?

• Whilst the event is targeted for people experiencing these conditions and their loved ones, the presentation will be full of contemporary science and new research (presented in a digestible way) and is therefore suitable for clinicians, too.
