Women, Chronic Pain & What the System Gets Wrong with Dasha Maslennikova

Chronic pain is one of the most misunderstood, mismanaged, and frankly underestimated conditions in healthcare — and women bear a disproportionate burden of that gap. This week on TMI Tuesdays, we're joined by Dasha Maslennikova, Kinesiologist and owner of Symmetrix Kinesiology (Greater Vancouver), who knows this world from both sides of the treatment table.At the height of her athletic life, an MVA turned everything upside down — launching a 13-year journey through chronic pain that eventually shaped her entire clinical practice. Dasha is deeply passionate about chronic pain in women's health and brings a refreshingly honest lens to why the system still gets it wrong, what makes women's pain unique, and the approaches she uses that actually move the needle.
