Overview:

Mindfulness is not only a practice — it is a state of awareness, a behavioural trait, an intervention, an act of self-care, and a way of living that can dramatically shift the nervous system toward homeostasis, or a state of internal equilibrium.

This simple, yet effective practice improves mood and alleviates pain by enhancing the brain’s ability to regulate cognitions, emotions, and cultivate a sense of wellbeing.

Research shows that just a few minutes of practice has substantial impact. Plus, mindfulness exercises can be practiced anytime, anywhere.

Once you understand mindfulness and the cognitive change mechanisms at work, you can easily integrate this evidence-based biopsychosocial intervention for the treatment of pain into your own pain practice.

Why You Should Consider Using Mindfulness in Pain Care

Learn how to safely and effectively improve patient outcomes using an evidence-based practice that:

Requires no equipment, no prescriptions, and no sitting for hours at a time.
Positively impacts many chronic pain conditions by reducing pain, stress, anxiety, and depression.
Utilizes a biopsychosocial intervention with the highest level of evidence (level 1a).

In This Introductory Course You Will Learn:

How mindfulness can be used as a biopsychosocial treatment for chronic pain.
The unique cognitive change processes at work in mindfulness for pain relief.
How mindfulness-based interventions complement pain neuroscience education.
The evidence supporting mindfulness-based interventions in pain management and physical therapy.
A multi-session Mindfulness-Based Pain Relief Program to be used alongside traditional physical therapy treatment.

Audience:

This online course is open to all healthcare professionals and movement therapists who are interested in integrating a proven method of mental training into your pain care practice and improve patient outcomes.

Join Joe Tatta and learn how you can implement this simple, powerful practice!
