Description
Pain is a multi-dimensional experience that can manifest differently from person to person. So, what’s the optimal approach to treat pain?
It starts with concise education, systematic movements/exercise, and appropriate mindset. Learn how you can turn these simple strategies into a transformational tool for your patients.
Join Dr. Tom Walters, Author and Founder of Rehab Science™ and an accomplished Physical Therapist with over a decade of experience treating musculoskeletal pain and movement disorders.
Dr. Walters will challenge outdates and misconstrued principles of pain management with evidence-based, optimized protocols for healing and recovery.
- Learn how to progressively load the musculoskeletal system with appropriate levels of input to gradually desensitize pain thresholds
- Discover graded exposure techniques to reframe pain-avoidance behaviors and overcome fear with movement patterns
- Adopt a Rehab Science approach to empower your patients with self-management interventions to take control of their pain
- Unpack the debate of RICE vs. Movement – What’s the optimal approach following injury?
- Delve into whole-body exercise protocols patients can easily follow to reframe their pain experience
You’ll develop a multi-system clinical framework that champions self-guided pain management through clear education, fine-tuned movement, and graded exercise.
