NEW COURSE
Pain Unstuck: a fresh perspective on pain & exercise.
Pain Unstuck takes a fresh look at pain and exercise rehab through the lens of active inference. Active inference flips our understanding of how the nervous system operates and provides a potential explanatory framework to guide your clinical practice.
This 2 day course takes participants on a journey to consider pain as a deeply personal, conscious experience. This means pain doesn’t live in the tissues, nor in the brain. Rather, pain sits somewhere in between, emerging from the delicate dance between sensory information and your unconscious predictions.
Using case studies of real patients, participants will learn how to help their patients understand that it is safe to move, feel that it is safe to move, experience safe movement and repeatedly move with confidence.
Evidence Based
Course content is based upon the critical appraisal of the most contemporary research in strength and conditioning, rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Practical
Courses have a practical focus so that participants develop critical skills that they can integrate into their practice.
Clinical Case Studies
A strong emphasis is placed on applying the new knowledge and skills in clinical scenarios through the use of real clinical case studies.
Small Gym-Based Classes
Working in small groups in a gym environment allows for everyone to participate in the practical sessions and receive individualised feedback.

Highly Recommend
I would highly recommend this course to all physios. I left this course feeling well equiped to create good exercise plans individualised for patients. Everything Merv recommended was research based. It’s always great to have that all put together in an easy and efficient way. It’s become something that I feel confident to recommend to my patients, I can now put together an effective plan all within a patients consultation time. Thank you Merv for giving me some great skills that I could apply in the clinic straight away. And Catherine, thank you for the great food and coffee too
