About the Event

Wish you could empower people with chronic pain to move towards more meaningful lifestyles beyond the limitations imposed by pain? Are you tired of watching your patients stay locked into pain cycles that prevent them from embracing a higher quality of life? Explore how chronic pain traps people in a downward spiral of fear avoidance behaviors, health provider shopping, endless pill popping, disability, isolation and depression. Uncover how the traditional medical model of treating only physical symptoms without addressing underlying biopsychosocial issues fails to provide lasting change in cases of chronic pain. Adopt transformational interventions into your current rehab plans to endorse positive coping mechanisms that build resilience for optimal pain management with less deleterious side effects. Develop strategies to impact pain perception in a novel way using an educational approach that embraces neuroplasticity to encourage people to move beyond the hurt and fear. Enhance your patients’ knowledge of how pain works. Employ multiple tips and tricks to mitigate pain intensity and disability, improve mood, anxiety and sleep, and promote performance. Provide tools to boost participation in meaningful activities from ADL to work and recreation for measurable outcomes and more smiles in life!

This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
