This one has just been posted on the PABC site. It will definitely be a good one and will likely fill up fast.
Outline:
The objectives of this two-day course are to bring physiotherapists up-to-date on pain neuroscience research and clinical practices, and to enhance physiotherapy practice by providing practical methods to integrate pain science into our daily physiotherapy practice.
Day 1 provides detailed current physiological understanding of pain, chronic pain and the lived experience of pain. This information is the biological foundation from which we can better understand the positive effects of our current physiotherapy treatments on outcomes of pain, function and quality of life. It is also the foundation from which we can analyze and develop new physiotherapy interventions for people in pain.
Day 1 also includes a review of neurophysiology of peripheral, central and autonomic systems, recent and ongoing research of neurophysiology and neuroplasticity, as well as treatments that will promote positive neurophysiological changes, and language with which to provide people in pain with an optimistic and realistic perspective of pain management.
Day 2 provides practical sessions combined with a deeper look into current interventions provided by physiotherapists for people with pain - specifically discussing situations in which the person does not respond as we would expect to our traditional biomechanical and exercise-based approaches. Given the recent academic disputes related to myofascial techniques and to acupuncture, the day will start with a discussion of these interventions, specifically related to pain biology.Exercise in the face of persistent pain will be considered in light of recent outcome studies. Specific movement practices, and their associated outcome studies will be analyzed, including yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong for people in pain. The NOI group’s graded motor imagery techniques will be reviewed, and participants will discuss how these innovation could be beneficial with in broader populations rather than only for those with complex regional pain syndrome.
