Does Manual Therapy Matter in Pain Rx? Episode 97 with Anna Maria Mazzieri

Welcome to today's episode where I had the pleasure of chatting with Anna Maria Mazzieri about the intersection of manual therapy in the treatment of pain, a biopsychosocial approach and working through a trauma informed lens👉We talked about the role of touch in helping people reclaim their body schema, moving from disembodiment to embodiment, how trauma, especially Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs), can cause and perpetuate persistent pain👉Why manual therapy shouldn't be a nociceptive input but rather a strategy for helping people reframe their relationship with their bodies, particularly when they have widespread chronic pain👉What happens when we touch people in a therapeutic environment 👉We also talked about the 'how' of why manual therapy works and how we can explain it to the people we are working with, with compassion AND with evidence based, trauma informed viewpoint (no more hurting people!)👉’Touch is sensory evidence of you being YOU’👋👋👋Anna Maria teaches at the ST School in the UK (@theist school on instagram) - she offers both in person and online classes - highly recommended!💝💝💝And a reminder that my Winter Sale is now on - use the code PF75 at checkout to save €75 at checkout on ALL of the online course at CelebrateMuliebrity.comUntil next time, Onwards and Upwards!
