This workshop is designed to challenge and extend your skills to manage clients with pain to achieve significant functional outcomes. The workshop focuses on developing:
- a further understanding of why pain can persist
- skills to better identify the “hidden” barriers through a more comprehensive assessment process
- a framework of treatment options for clients with ongoing pain
- goals that your client is motivated to achieve
- novel graded exposure plans to address fear avoidant behaviours
- sleep strategies to improve disrupted sleep
- specific CBT and ACT techniques to address pain
- practical strategies to help a client who is ‘stuck’
- techniques to more effectively address challenging communication issues when dealing with resistance and how to manage difficult conversations
The workshop has a very strong practical focus to ensure you are able to implement the strategies into your working day. Small group work is undertaken to allow time to practice new skills and numbers are strictly limited to ensure the workshop is highly interactive.
A significant gap currently exists between the scientific evidence for the best practice management of people with musculoskeletal pain and current practice. We specialise in providing practical training to Clinicians and Return to Work professionals managing people in pain to prevent the onset of persistent disability or to manage persistent pain and disability to maximise work and personal function.
- We provide both face to face and online live and interactive training.
- We also have 2 self paced short courses: Explaining Pain and Communication
- We also provide in-house training with a tailored professional focus on a regular basis. Please contact us on 03 9459 3344 or e-mail an enquiry if your organisation has particular training requirements. We can personally discuss with you the best options to meet your needs.
- We also provide mentoring and supervision for health and return to work professionals on request.
We have delivered workshop based training since 2006 to a range of health professionals including Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Occupational Rehabilitation Providers, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Osteopaths, Exercise Physiologists, Medical Doctors and Return to Work coordinators amongst many other professions.
