In this lecture, we will explore the art and science of physiotherapy in the assessment and management of orofacial pain.

Karri will discuss the pathophysiology involved in orofacial pain and how to apply trigeminocervical specific neuroscience and pain education.

Case studies will include common orofacial pain presentations, such as trigeminal neuralgia, temperomandibular dysfunction and post traumatic trigeminal neuropathy, including what to look out for in your assessment to guide differential diagnosis and client focused treatment.

Karri will also provide some practical tips and tricks when it comes to the treatment of these pain conditions.

In this essential session, we'll explore real-world scenarios that physiotherapists may face, including publicly known AHPRA cases, and provide practical strategies to safeguard your practice. You'll gain valuable insights into the medico-legal landscape from Darren Elliott, a national clinical advisor with extensive experience in health practitioner governance,.

Join us for an engaging evening showcasing the next generation of pain researchers. 'A Snapshot of Pain Research in South Australia' brings together six early career researchers and PhD candidates (from Flinders University, Adelaide University and The Central Adelaide Local Health Network) who are advancing our understanding of pain through innovative and emerging studies. For physiotherapists interested in contemporary pain science, this event offers a unique opportunity to hear short, accessible presentations from researchers working across a range of pain-related topics. Each presenter will share insights from their current work, highlighting new ideas, early findings, and the potential clinical implications for physiotherapy practice. Whether you're curious about the latest directions in pain research, looking to connect research with clinical practice, or keen to support emerging researchers in the field, this event provides a relaxed and stimulating environment to learn, discuss, and engage.

This presentation will cover the principles of supported lying, focussing on the chest and hips and how consistent positioning can protect body shape, improve comfort and prevent long-term complications. Participants will gain an understanding of the key concepts of supported lying, supported by the exploration of case studies using both specialised and readily available supports.

Clients with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent profiles often experience pelvic pain differently: sensory hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity, safety, overwhelm, shutdowns, or struggles with executive functioning can profoundly shape how pain is lived and treated. This workshop aims to equip clinicians with the knowledge and tools to see pelvic pain through a neurodivergent lens, making your care more attuned, inclusive, and effective.
