In a world experiencing an epidemic of chronic pain and increasing evidence of the failure of synthetic drugs, simple but extremely powerful educational tools can effectively target the natural pain treatment systems within us all.
Knowledge is power. In the new series of Explain Pain courses delivered by NOI instructors around the world, contemporary pain sciences are made accessible and understandable for all.
We know more about pain in the last twenty years than in the thousand years before and it’s all providing answers to “why do I hurt the way I do” and “what can I do about it”. The knowledge is applicable to young and old, from back pain to hemiplegia and general aching to the complexities of phantom pain and complex regional pain syndrome.
Explain Pain works to reduce catastrophisation and negative pain beliefs and when combined with active treatment, reduces pain and enhances return to work and play. Explain Pain has no side effects, is available around the clock, and you can share the knowledge and strategies with others.
Don’t miss this opportunity. NOI Explain Pain courses are fun, intellectually stimulating, based on evidence, always challenging, and integrate the Explain Pain ecosystem of Explain Pain, The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer, and Explain Pain Supercharged. You will come away with the most impressive therapeutic tool set ever!
By the end of this course participants will have:
All professionals working with patients or clients in acute or chronic pain and stress states e.g. Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Doctors, Psychologists and Rehabilitation Counsellors.
Dr. Ben Davies PhD MSc MCSP, UK
An experienced Noigroup instructor in the UK, Ben has taught Explain Pain (EP), Mobilisation of the
Neuroimmune System (MONIS) and Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) courses in the UK and Europe since
2008.
His background as a physiotherapist involves primary, secondary and tertiary care settings. The
majority of Ben’s experience is with people who have complex, persistent pain presentations.
Ben’s PhD at the University of the West of England was in painful diabetic neuropathy, exploring whether this group of people could benefit from the pain management approaches which are
relatively common in the MSK pain world, but not in the diabetic world.
Currently Ben is an advanced practice physiotherapist in rheumatology at the Royal United Hospital, Bath. This role includes managing and delivering a rehabilitation program for Axial Spondyloarthropathy, one
of only three such courses in the UK, as well as time in rheumatology medical clinics.
