Course Topics

1. PATIENT EXPECTATIONS

In clinical practice, it’s common that some patients fail to improve or make progress even with the best treatment. In this section we explore how pain expectations (e.g. placebos and nocebos) influence pain symptoms. We will then show how to integrate these concepts into clinical practice to enhance patient outcomes.

2. OVERCOMING FEAR

Many healthcare professionals acknowledge the role of pain related fear, but don't feel equipped to help patients overcome these fears. In this section you will learn new discoveries about pain related fear AND practical tools to help patients re-engage in meaningful physical activity.

3. RELATIONSHIPS & PAIN

In this section of the we will explore the role of relationships in development and treatment of persistent pain. We will discuss early life experiences, social rejection, parent-child, partner , and patient - provider relationships. We will includes strategies for addressing these relationships as part of a pain rehabilitation treatment plan.

4. SIMPLIFYING MINDFUL MOVEMENT & MEDITATION

In this section of the course we will take a deep dive into the topic of body awareness and embodiment. We will explore mindful movement, meditation, and breath-work (pranayama). We'll focus on practical strategies for teaching pain specific techniques to patients, and address the common challenges in teaching "mind-body" techniques in the clinic.

5. EXERCISE FOR CHRONIC PAIN

Exercise is the gold standard for chronic pain, yet it seems to make many patients feel worse. In this section of the course, we will explore the physiology underlying exercise induced pain, and strategies to make exercise more comfortable for patients. We will also learn an entirely new framework for exercise that utilizes therapeutic movement from a non-biomechanical pain science perspective.

6. THE NEW SCIENCE OF PAIN

This section of the course takes a step away from the clinic to dive deeper into pain science concepts such as sensitization / habituation, pain vulnerability, maladaptive plasticity, and new perspectives on the neurobiology of the conscious lived experience of pain.

7. A FRESH APPROACH FOR MANUAL THERAPY

This section will explore the science of touch based therapies such as massage and manipulation.  We will present practical strategies for integrating these treatments into patient care without reinforcing harmful beliefs or unhealthy reliance on passive treatment. We will also explore pain science concepts that open up new doors for creative application of these therapies.

8. TAMING STRESS

In this section, we will explore the role of stress (including PTSD) in the development and treatment of persistent. We will learn novel strategies for enhancing stress resiliency that can be integrated into a pain rehabilitation program

9. SLEEP & PAIN

In this section, we will explore the role of sleep in the development and treatment of persistent pain. We will also cover strategies for sleep enhancement that can be used by clinicians.

A note from the Course INstructor

This is the course I wish I had been able to take...

When I graduated physical therapy school, I was fascinated by the topic of persistent pain.  Aside from my own chronic pain, I was confused and frustrated when working with patients who had chronic pain.  Unfortunately, I struggled to find a course that would help me get up to speed on the topic - the pain science and the practical implementation.

I spent years trying to figure out how to provide effective therapy for patients with persistent pain.  In my own learning journey, I sought out and consulted with leading pain scientists throughout the world to get their perspective, read hundreds of pain science articles, academic textbooks, and took advanced training courses in numerous rehabilitation approaches.  This was all coupled with extensive trial and error in the clinic.  

While I never found a perfect solution that works for all patients, I learned many valuable skills and a new style of clinical reasoning that has helped me overcome my own pain, and to assist hundreds of patients who came to me for therapy.

The course you are about to begin is designed to simplify the science, and help you become competent and confident in treating patients who have complex pain presentations. It's the course I wish I would have been able to take when I was a new grad.

I'm looking forward to learning together!   Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, or send me an email with any questions that you have about the course.

How long is the course and how much does it cost?

The online course is designed to be completed gradually over a period of 4 months. There are 16 weekly lessons, and each lesson has an average time to complete of 2.5 hours. The cost is $650 USD.

Will I get to interact with the instructor?

Students can schedule a 1 hour (or 2 half hour) phone or video conference sessions with the instructor. These sessions are available during working hours (European time zone).

Will I have access to the content after I complete the course?

Most of the content will remain available to you after the course ends.

Can I try it out first?

We do not offer a free trial, but we do have a satisfaction guarantee with a no-questions-asked full refund policy. Requests for refund must be made within the first 14 days of starting the course

When do I get the certificate?

After you finish the coursework you will take a comprehensive quiz. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a Certification in Principles of Biopsychosocial Chronic Pain Rehabilitation.

What if I get busy with life and fall behind?

While it is very helpful to stay with the pace of the course, you can slow down if you need to for any reason.

Can I stay up all night and complete the course over a weekend?

Not exactly. While much of the content could be "consumed" in a few weekends, the goal of the course is to enhance clinical practice. It takes time to think through and practice applying the concepts with your patients or clients. As such, the course is deliberately paced over a longer period of time.

What format is the content?

The lesson materials are a mix of several multimedia formats including text, images, slides, and video.
