Overview

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. 

This course provides a supportive and open forum for participants to discuss their challenges trying to help people living with pain. Together, we explore evidence, uncertainty, and clinical practice in a judgement-free environment.

Whether you are a new graduate, or a more experienced clinician you will come away form this course with a new perspective on pain and key skills to implement in your practice.
