Overview

There are many myths about pain.

People living with chronic pain have often internalized these myths which have been provided by healthcare professionals including a vision of brokenness regarding their body.

Research indicates that these negative beliefs are associated with increased pain and disability.

‘Explaining pain’ through verbal, written and video processes can be a powerful skill set of yoga therapists and health care professionals, yet could the experiential learning of yoga and movement be even more powerful?

In this practical online course, you will learn how to effectively and compassionately counter maladaptive myths and beliefs about pain through the experience of yoga and movement.

This online course begins with a brief introductory lecture on pain education research, and then switches to guidance through educational yoga experiences exploring the power of imagery, and kinaesthetic experiences for people living in pain. This course will provide you with specific strategies to use when guiding your patients living with chronic pain into movement that may be uncomfortable for them, to help de-sensitize their pain alarm systems.
