Biologising Pain: An interactive evening with Lorimer Moseley
Date: 3rd June 2008About the course
It is one thing to know the basic biology of pain, it is another thing to share that knowledge with patients. This evening aims to help bridge this gap. By taking an interactive 'conversational' approach, Lorimer focuses on real world explanations and their biological justifications. Key principles of modern pain biology and the important recent advances in our understanding of the biology of pain are initially presented. Lorimer then progresses through several real world case studies, demonstrating and discussing the challenges one might face, and the methods one might use to biologise patients' experiences.
Participants will have the opportunity to share their own challenges for biologising pain in the real world. Problem solving can then be offered both from Lorimer’s research and clinical experiences and other delegate at the evening. The evening is designed to enrich delegates with management strategies and knowledge which they can integrate into their specific area, thereby enhancing outcomes.
Who Is This Course For?
- Physiotherapists (all levels) / Osteopaths / Chiropractors / Sports Therapists
- Occupational Therapists
- Psychologists
- Doctors
Key Benefits
- Clinical examples and strategies for integrating pain education within clinical management of patients in pain, both acute and chronic.
