In recent years there has been a big interest in teaching people about pain. Various meta-analyses, systematic reviews and randomized clinical trials confirms its efficacy to help pain and disability in people struggling with chronic pain. In contrast to the scientific activity, there remains a clinical need:

How do you actually do it? Who needs it? How do you merge it with traditional movement-based treatments?  What about documentation? What about coding? Time management?

The list can go on and on. Enough research! This presentation, will provide a step-by-step clinical application of PNE in a real-life clinical practice. Using current pain mechanisms, clinicians will be taught how to identify ideal patients for PNE; examine and screen these patients and prepare them for PNE. PNE will be showcased via various, ready-to-use metaphors including patient education tools and home-exercise activities. The sessions will show how PNE compliments and blends with movement-based therapies including pacing, graded exposure, and exercise. The clinical aspects of documentation, coding and time-management will be showcased, allowing for immediate clinical use. This session is a must for anyone treating patients in pain.
