Neen suffers from chronic pain due to mixed connective tissue disease, with features of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma and myositis.
In this discussion, she talks about some of her frustrations when seeking help from physiotherapists.

She calls on physiotherapists to carefully listen to their patients and to seriously consider whether PNE will be welcome or helpful in each individual case.
