Pain Management Education and Support

Tailored one-to-one education sessions provide the client with a sensible rationale for the bio-psycho-social approach to treatment and pain management. Based on a model of health care in which psychological and behavioural change results from learning - education on the neurophysiology of pain helps patients to identify the links between pain, disability and emotions. Clients are provided with current science-based information regarding pain mechanisms and appropriate interpretation of symptoms, which can help to alter maladaptive beliefs about pain, as well as reduce fear-avoidance behaviours and distress related to their condition.  Armed with this knowledge, clients are better positioned to understand their pain condition and, most importantly, put in place effective management strategies.
