Presenting My Pain Management Story and Vision at the Murray City Coast Country GP Training
It was wonderful sharing my story and vision at the Murray City Coast Country GP Training. AND especially presenting on a stage and in actual physical life to 50 general practitioners (GPs) who were keen to learn about chronic pain. 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 so many reasons. Firstly, the patient experience incorporated into GP training is great for obvious reasons as nothing beats learning from the lived experience. But I feel even [...]
A Chat with Robert J. Echenberg, MD (Dr E!)
Wisdom, experience and compassion are all qualities to describe Dr E. Just wait ’til you hear him speak! This extraordinary gentle human has had a very long professional career with the pelvis! Beginning his medical career as an obstetrician and gynecologist in the 50’s he found himself asking a lot of questions specifically about how women were expected to manage trauma relating to birth/pregnancy. Dr E has helped bring thousands of little humans into the world, moving into pain management around the time when those little humans began making their own little humans. He [...]

Ping, in my inbox just like that! Mandy sent a most inspiring filled message. Aside from her appreciation, Mandy expressed ideas – that caught my attention! At the time I was a bit swamped and had to take a step back from advocacy as I was on the brink of my big life change from city to seaside. Mandy [...]

There's no way I could have set up a video resource section of people who have most impacted my chronic pain journey without including Dr Susie Gronski. That reason is because I love that Dr Susie's practice is totally focused on helping males with pelvic issues. I'm so in support of that because from – what I hear, it's even harder to find a specialist who can help a [...]
Maddy Lock – My Alexander Technique Physiotherapist

Well, it's kind of not physiotherapy but rather a guiding formula for your body and mind. When I was in my first few years of chronic pain, I sought to set up my pain management team on foot as I quickly realised the car was a terrible trauma for me. I found Knowbody Physiotherapy online and discovered that the owner, Maddy Lock was in [...]
On Neurostimulation
Neurostimulation has been key in my management of pain. It's also satisfied my wish to find a way to be as self-sufficient with my management as I possibly can be. My first stim was a peripheral stimulation unit (leads under the skin) and that was implanted in 2011. I still have this unit as a backup. In 2015 I had a sacral stim implanted but that fizzed (in my opinion) within three years. So in 2019 I had the sacral stim removed and replaced with a spinal cord neurostim. WARNING: In the video, I talk about my experience and have a few Xrays pop up to demonstrate a little detail. If you're the squeamish type you may not want to see the images – they are small, however. Read key blogs about my stim implants experiences and adventures:
