I’d like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the organizing team at the Psychiatry Congress 2026 for assembling a global forum focused on the future of mental health. Dr. Stoxen is deeply honoured to have been invited, and recognises the prestige of this event as a platform bringing together leading voices in psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience.
Dr. Stoxen’s reputation as an internationally recognised clinician-scientist and educator precedes him. With decades of work dedicated to musculoskeletal and performance medicine, he is widely known for his “Human Spring” approach to biomechanical health and recovery. While much of his work has focused on conditions such as lower back pain, herniated discs and thoracic outlet syndrome, his integrative paradigm intersects powerfully with the conference theme of psychiatry, mental health and psychology — because the interplay between biomechanics, neurophysiology and psychosocial stress is increasingly acknowledged in brain-body medicine. In addition to major speaking engagements, Dr. Stoxen shares accessible recovery pathways through his free books and online courses at www.teamdoctorsacademy.com. Act now while these resources are still available for free – Start your recovery journey today at www.teamdoctorsacademy.com.
