It’s estimated that one in five people currently suffer
with a persistent pain condition whether that’s
related to a longstanding illness, like arthritis, or
a primary pain syndrome like fibromyalgia or migraines. And for many, they feel trapped by their pain. So I’m thrilled to be giving a talk that will
break down some myths around pain and aid people in their recovery.”
