Pain is the number one cause for which patients seek the help of the physical therapist(s).

Recently, more and more studies have uncovered gender differences in both the perception and management of pain. In addition, some pain patterns are exclusive-or definitely majority-in the female gender.

To explore these issues, the Continuing Education Rehabilitation Area of the Department of Business, Health and Social Economics SUPSI is organizing an online conference with the participation of some of the faculty members of the CAS Rehabilitation and Women's Health - edition 2024/25.
