Course Description:
In recent years, pain neuroscience from a therapeutic perspective, has gained considerable evidence, especially teaching people more about their pain. Current best-evidence shows that therapeutic neuroscience education improves pain ratings, function, pain catastrophization, physical movement and cost of healthcare utilization. Clinically there is a shift whereby more and more clinicians are gaining experience in teaching people more about pain. This, however, is a good starting point, but not the end-point. The ultimate expression of recovery is behavior change, or return to physical confidence. Following the initial pain education, clinicians now need to embrace and impart additional strategies such as goal setting, pacing, graded exposure and behavioral change leading to a functional, empowered patient being able to resume a fulfilled meaningful life. This course bridges the gap from initial pain education to independence. Through lectures, case studies, group sessions, clinical application and motivational interviewing, clinicians will develop skills aimed at true behavioral change.
