BreakThrough Physical Therapy Hosts Special Documentary Screening on Chronic Pain 

Free Event Features Film Screening, Expert Q&A, and Local Bourbon Tasting at Mystic Farm & Distillery 

Durham, NC – August 5, 2025BreakThrough Physical Therapy invites the Triangle community to a powerful evening of education, connection, and conversation on one of the most misunderstood health issues of our time: chronic pain. 

The locally owned physical therapy group will host a free community screening of the new documentary Pain, Misunderstood on Thursday, August 14 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Mystic Farm & Distillery in Durham. The event will include light refreshments, a private screening of the 30-minute film, and a live Q&A session with local pain experts. 

Attendees will also enjoy craft spirit tastings from Mystic including bourbon whiskeys, vodka, gin, and rum while networking with local clinicians, educators, and community members passionate about better pain care. 

Pain, Misunderstood blends compelling patient stories with leading clinical insight to explore the science and personal impact of chronic pain. From a military veteran turned boxer to a young woman navigating invisible illness, the documentary challenges outdated beliefs and highlights the role of the brain, body, and environment in how we experience pain. 

“We’re proud to bring this conversation to our community,” said Matt Ware, PT, DPT, OCS, Senior Regional Director of BreakThrough Physical Therapy. “Too often, people are told their pain is in their head or that there’s nothing left to try. This film offers a new understanding and a path forward.”
