SUMMARY:Hawthorn | Member StrongTalk November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Move Better. Load Better. Live Stronger.\nUnderstanding Pain\, Movement & Getting More From Your OsteoStrong Sessions \nABOUT THE TALK \nWhy does pain change the way we move\, and how can this affect our ability to exercise and load our bodies effectively? \nIn this interactive Strong Talk\, physiotherapist and Fascial Counterstrain practitioner Nad Perera will explore the relationship between pain\, movement and strength. \nNad will explain why pain is not always a simple reflection of tissue damage\, how the body’s protective responses can influence movement and force production and why two people experiencing pain in the same area may have very different contributing factors. \nUsing practical examples and 3D anatomy\, Nad will also introduce the Fascial Counterstrain approach to assessing pain and movement. He’ll explore how improving movement options and reducing barriers to comfortable movement may help people participate more confidently in exercise and loading. \nThe presentation will connect these concepts directly with OsteoStrong and provide practical strategies members can use to help them move better\, load better and live stronger. \nKEY TAKEAWAYS – Members will learn: \n\nWhy pain can change the way we move\, and why the location of pain doesn’t always tell the whole story.\nHow mobility\, positioning\, control and protective responses can influence our ability to produce force and load effectively.\nPractical ways to support movement\, exercise\, recovery and confidence between OsteoStrong sessions.\n\nABOUT NAD PERERA \nNad Perera is a registered physiotherapist and Owner of Alive Physio & Wellness in Hawthorn. He graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from La Trobe University in 2004 and has worked across public health and private practice\, establishing his own private practice in 2007. \nNad has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in manual therapy and has a particular interest in persistent and complex pain\, movement dysfunction and whole-body assessment. A major focus of his clinical work is Fascial Counterstrain (FCS)\, a gentle manual therapy and assessment approach that looks beyond the location of symptoms to explore different tissue systems and potential contributors to protective tension and movement restriction. \nNad is the only physiotherapist in Victoria with formal training in Fascial Counterstrain\, bringing a specialised perspective to understanding pain\, movement and whole-body function. \nHis clinical philosophy is to understand the individual rather than simply treat the painful area with the aim of helping people move more comfortably\, build confidence in their bodies and return to the activities that matter to them. \nFor further details:\nhttps://www.alivephysioandwellness.com.au/ \nBook My Place
