Join Erin and Michelle as they kick off a special series of longer episodes that will give you a look into the conversations they are having behind the scenes about pain and our bodies with some of their favorite people. These conversations are happening all of time, and they want you to be a part of them.
Their first guest is Dr. Kayla Conway. Dr. Kayla is one of a handful of pediatric pain physical therapists in the United States and currently a doctor of physical therapy at University of Minnesota Masonic children’s hospital in Minneapolis. She specializes in chronic pain and is caring for some of the sickest kiddos in the world. Dr. Kayla will dive deep into her role as a chronic pain physical therapist, what her team looks like, and best treatment strategies. She explains how restoring resilience in patients and families can be one of the most helpful tools to feeling less pain overall. As Dr. Kayla and Ted Lasso say best, “it’s the lack of hope that kills you”. As PTs we are explaining the science to bring that hope and resilience back to our bodies.
