  • *Christina Olsson – Associate Professor and lecturer at the Division of
    Physiotherapy, Department of NVS. Employed at SLSO, Region Stockholm.*
    I gained my degree in Physiotherapy in Uppsala in 1985 and defended my thesis
    for a PhD in 2010. Title: “Lumbopelvic pain during and after pregnancy.
    Aspects on catastrophizing, fear-avoidance beliefs, physical ability and
    health-related quality of life”. Since September 2022 I am Associated
    Professor in Physiotherapy.
    I have worked for many years as a physiotherapist in primary healthcare in
    Stockholm, Sweden. I have been involved in the clinical education program for
    physiotherapy students and I have also worked as a lecturer at the
    physiotherapy education programme at Karolinska Institutet, mainly within the
    musculoskeletal area. In addition, I have been working with professional development and
    continuing education for physiotherapists in primary healthcare in the
    Stockholm area.Furthermore, I have had assignments as an Interprofessional Coordinator of
    clinical education, continuing education and patient-oriented research (14

    Healthcare Centre, Region Stockholm.
    Danderyd Academic Primary Healthcare Centre was awarded the KLOK Award 2019
