Gender Diversity in Physiotherapy

I was invited to present at the Physiotherapy New Zealand conference in Ōtautahi in September, 2024.

Aotearoa's trans and non-binary communities face additional barriers to accessing healthcare, and have additional physical and mental health needs that often aren't equitably met by the healthcare system. In this workshop, learn about these barriers to accessing care, what they might mean for physiotherapy, and ways we can reduce those barriers to care and contribute to trans and non-binary people in Aotearoa living excellent lives. This session will briefly cover background and context, touch on language and terminology, and look at practical tools and tips we can put into practice to improve the quality of the lives our clients live.
