Why Does My Body Keep Hurting?
Persistent pain is rarely about one thing. Learn how posture, movement patterns, hypermobility, sleep and nervous-system factors can all play a role
Author name: Mathilde Konczynski
Mathilde has over 20 years of clinical experience and works with patients across the lifespan, from children and adolescents to adults and older people. She graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2004 and subsequently completed her medical degree at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2010. Her broad clinical background has given her extensive experience in the assessment and management of a wide range of musculoskeletal presentations. Alongside her clinical practice, Mathilde is involved in teaching and professional development. Her particular clinical interests include child development and neurodevelopment, sensory regulation, hypermobility, and the management of chronic and persistent pain. She is particularly interested in understanding how movement, the nervous system, sensory processing and an individual’s wider circumstances can influence the experience of pain and physical symptoms. Mathilde takes an individualised, patient-centred approach to care, combining careful assessment, clear communication and practical management strategies. She has developed a strong network of healthcare professionals and frequently works hand in hand with colleagues from other disciplines, taking a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
