Brain Embodiment: Transformational Pain Treatment

Why Attend This Workshop?

The brain has long been the forgotten frontier in treating pain patients. This is changing with new discoveries as a result of advanced imaging techniques that allow us to identify areas of the brain that are damaged by various pain states. The discovery that our brains change throughout our lives has exciting implications for treating people suffering with persistent pain. These changes help us to learn new tasks, be creative, adapt to new challenges and gain wisdom over the course of our lives. Unfortunately, where persistent pain is involved, this same changing brain leads to relentless and constant pain, anxiety and depression. The brain is and always has been a unifying part of the body. Techniques incorporating manual therapy and brain-based treatment can be applied to teach individuals to use thoughts, images, sensations, memories, soothing emotions and movement to improve pain, function and quality of life. The techniques presented in this workshop are designed to integrate treatment of brain and body to teach practitioners; people in pain, and those involved in their care approaches that will not only change practice, but also help people in pain dramatically improve their own ability to manage their lives.
