Fresh look, big year: Osteo Talk 2024

In this episode, we are joined by Rebecca Malon, a Queensland-based osteopath and clinical nutritionist whose lived experience led her to focus on women’s health. Rebecca has undertaken extensive professional development and is passionate about empowering, educating and caring for women. Rebecca discusses endometriosis, a condition that can have a devastating impact on a woman’s quality of life. With such a wide range of signs and symptoms, it can take time and involve multiple practitioners to put the pieces of the puzzle together on the journey to diagnosis. You may be the first practitioner to recognise the signs and symptoms or be part of a multi-disciplinary team caring for a woman with endometriosis. Whatever the role, you can have a significant impact. 

Rebecca discusses:

What is endometriosis:
- Current understanding of the cause 
- Pain and symptom-generating mechanisms 
- Common signs and symptoms 
- The role of osteopathy in the management of endometriosis 
- The role of central and peripheral sensitisation
- The role of pain education and pain down-regulating training
- The role of the pelvic floor and abdominal diaphragm 
- The role of osteopathic treatment post-surgically
