RegisterAdvanced Therapeutic Neuroscience Education: Focus on Function
––– Prerequisite
Therapeutic Neuroscience Education
For: PT, OT, PTA, COTA, Other
Basic application of TNE in the clinic is a good starting point, but it is not the end-point for most patients. The ultimate expression of recovery is behavior change: return to physical confidence. For many patients, some pain will continue to be a part of life, but it doesn’t need to rule their lives. In order to help patients move forward despite their pain, clinicians need to embrace and impart additional strategies such as goal setting, pacing, graded exposure and behavioral change. These strategies lead to functional, empowered patients being able to resume fulfilled, meaningful lives. This course bridges the gap from initial pain education to independence.
Virtual Labs Experiences combine online, self-paced coursework with weekly live, synchronous sessions and practice video submissions.
- 3-4 weeks of online coursework – self-paced
- Live, synchronous sessions weekly on Monday evenings
- Submit practice videos to receive feedback from instructors and peers
This course is being offered as a Virtual Lab Experience – Learn more about what you can expect from this change.

This class really helped switch my thinking from the biomedical model of pain to the biopscychosocial model. Finding that language that is both validating to the client and facilitates a different conversation than they have likely ever had about their pain is what I feel like I gained from this class.

I would highly recommend this course. You will continue to build upon a knowledge base, the sciences of pain and behavior change, and learn how to implement these things practically.
