Overview

The challenge of successfully managing persistent pain can be one of the most daunting for both clinicians and people in pain who are often frustrated after failed short-term interventions.

It is often difficult to understand and explain high and prolonged levels of pain where a traditional tissue-based cause is lacking. This course explores a cutting edge, patient-centered approach using a variety of practical learning methods to help your patients make sense and overcome their pain. It provides a range of practical applications and innovative learning methods to take into your clinic for immediate results.

The course content blends a wide range of contemporary evidence from both educational and healthcare literature. Know Pain courses have been taught in over fifteen countries and have provided a wide range of clinicians around the world with practical skills.

Feedback from over 1000 people who have attended Know Pain courses has shown that 100% would recommend a Know Pain course to their colleagues, whilst 95% felt more confident when helping people to overcome pain.

Who Is This Live Online Course For?

This course is relevant for all healthcare professionals.

This online course is relevant to anyone who works with people in pain. It uses evidence-based educational methods to explore therapeutic neuroscience education from both clinical and educational perspectives. You will also learn how to apply these teaching skills within your practice setting to optimize your patient’s learning experience. Patient education forms a significant component of modern healthcare, yet most clinicians have a limited toolkit. 

To help people make sense of their pain, we must first learn to teach.

Learning Aims

This interactive live online course will help you develop a range of engaging, practical skills so that you can help people make sense of pain and overcome it. The course content and handbook have been designed to be used in clinic. They include a combination of lectures, practical experiments, games, short clinical videos, reflective discussions & case studies to enable you to achieve the following:

• Help people to feel believed by understanding the relationship between pain, perception & behaviour change without them thinking that it’s “all in their head!”
• Learn ways to combine a biopsychosocial approach with your manual therapy and exercise therapy skills.
• Learn creative ways to help people make sense of pain by using interactive experiments involving taste, touch and hearing!
• Become a better teacher. Guide people who become stuck, empower people who feel hopeless, and engage people who feel bored.
• Optimize patient education by expanding your teaching toolkit & applying educational theories to your practice.
• Develop empathy and build therapeutic connections through an evidence-based awareness of what people in pain want from healthcare professionals.
• Help people to express their experience of living with pain through a range of engaging and empowering communication skills.
• Explore the role of metaphors in healthcare and understand the hidden impact of language on clinical outcomes.
• Integrate practical psychological treatment skills into your rehabilitation by exploring motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and cognitive bias modification.
