Uplevelling the Status Quo of Healing: A Biopsychosocial Approach to Care with Carolyn Vandyken

What if meaningful healing isn't about fixing what's "wrong," but about understanding the full human experience behind pain?

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Carolyn Vandyken—physiotherapist, educator, speaker, and co-owner of Reframe Rehab—for a conversation that reimagines how we approach pain, healing, and healthcare.

Carolyn has been a leader in advancing the biopsychosocial model of care, bringing together the physical, emotional, and social realities that shape our well-being. Through her own evolution as a clinician, she has learned that treating the body alone is not enough — and that empowering the nervous system, behavior change, and self-trust are essential to lasting recovery.

Together, we explore why physiotherapy and healthcare must move beyond "fixing," how language can either take away or restore hope, and why curiosity may be the most powerful clinical tool we have.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ What the biopsychosocial model actually looks like in practice ✨ How understanding the nervous system shifts outcomes for patients in pain ✨ Why hope, communication, and compassion are clinical interventions ✨ How pelvic health, musculoskeletal care, and pain science are deeply connected ✨ The mindset shift from treating tissues → facilitating transformation ✨ Why slowing down and trusting curiosity makes us better clinicians and humans

This conversation is an invitation to see care differently — not as doing something to someone, but as creating the conditions that allow them to heal.
