As a healthcare practitioner, you know that pain is more than just physical discomfort. It can have a profound impact on a patient’s emotional and social well-being. That is why we have developed an immersive 3-day course to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to provide compassionate, effective care to those experiencing acute or persistent pain.
Our humanistic approach emphasises the importance of understanding the complex interplay of factors that contribute to a patient’s pain experience. Through interactive lectures, case studies, and hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to engage with patients in a meaningful way, develop tailored care plans, and implement evidence-informed interventions that support recovery and improve quality of life.
You will explore a range of topics, including theories of enactivism, embodiment and ecological psychology, Free Energy Principle and predictive processing, interoception and allostasis, pain science, and the neurophysiological and psychological effects of affective touch and manual therapy. You will gain a deep understanding of how bodily symptoms are part of a dynamic process of sense-making, inseparable from the lived body and its environment.
By the end of this course, you will be better equipped to provide person-centred care that is both effective and compassionate. You will have the knowledge and skills to transform the way you approach musculoskeletal care and help your patients achieve better outcomes. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to elevate your practice and make a difference in the lives of your patients. Sign up now!”
