This course is part of the certification : Global Approach to Pain Management

In this final level of certification, the student will put into practice the global approach to pain management (GAPM) in three major regions of the human body:

  • Abdomino-lumbo-pelvic (ALP) region
  • Cervico-thoracic region
  • Extremities

 

In each section, the participant will be guided through theoretical concepts related to anatomy, myofascial lines, conditions, and evidence for the region. They will also learn how to refine the GAPM assessment to better evaluate the affected area.

Using case studies and practical examples, the participant will be guided in managing regional conditions through mindful therapy, with demonstrations of treatment techniques. Through case studies, the student will then apply their clinical reasoning using the tools of the comprehensive pain approach that they have already integrated at level 2. These techniques will encompass cognitive approaches, manual techniques, movement strategies with yoga practices, and stress response management.

Topics covered:

Part 1: Abdomino-lumbo-pelvic region

ALP applies GAPM to individuals with pain in the ALP region. We will explore three themes:

  • Pelvic floor and central unit
  • Myofascial system for the ALP region
  • GAPM specific to the ALP region

All these concepts will be applied to two complete case studies specific to this region.

Part 2: Cervico-thoracic region

Cervico-thoracic applies GAPM to individuals with pain in the cervico-thoracic region. We will explore four themes:

All these concepts will be applied to two complete case studies specific to this region.

Part 3: Extremities

Level 3 Extremities applies GAPM to individuals with pain in the extremities. We will explore four themes:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Tendinopathies
  • Myofascial system for the extremities
  • GAPM specific to the extremities

All these concepts will be applied to two complete case studies specific to this region.

At the end of the three sections of Level 3, the student will be able to test their knowledge in a final exam* with Emmanuelle Rivest-Gadbois. Upon successful completion of this exam, the student will receive an official certification in global approach to pain management from Bia education.

Each health professional who is a member of a college or association must complete continuing education units (CEU) annually. Here is some information about kinesiologists, physiotherapists and physiotherapy technologists.

Kinesiologist, FKQ

All accredited members of the Fédération des Kinésiologues du Québec (FKQ) must accumulate 30 credits of recognized continuing education every two years from the year of their accreditation. These credits can be obtained from continuing education offered by the FKQ and/or other organizations recognized by the FKQ. In order to facilitate your task of analyzing the credits granted to your course, the FKQ Continuing Education Committee gives you access to an equivalency grid.

For each* of your courses at Bia education, you will receive a certificate of participation confirming the number of hours of course received.

*Excluding course not accessible to kinesiologists, this exclusion will be mentioned in the course description.

Kinesiologist-kinesitherapist, A.K.K.O.M.Q.

All members of the A.K.K.O.M.Q. must accumulate continuing education units. The association intends to ensure the safety and quality of kinesiology and kinesiology-kinesitherapy interventions, by requiring its members to maintain and improve their knowledge through the many continuing education courses offered annually, and to put their skills into practice while respecting the code of ethics. Credits can be obtained from continuing education offered by the FKQ and/or other organizations recognized by the FKQ.

For each* of your courses at Bia education, you will receive a certificate of participation confirming the number of hours of course received.

*Excluding course not accessible to kinesitherapists, this exclusion will be mentioned in the course description.

Physiotherapist and physiotherapy technologist, OPPQ

In the case of physiotherapists, each member must have a minimum of 45 hours of continuing education units (CEU) during the reference period, which is three years. Of these 45 hours, at least 30 hours must be accumulated in formal learning activities. The remaining continuing education hours can be accumulated in autonomous, formal learning activities or in a combination of both categories.

A CEU is equivalent to one hour of course, which is the actual time spent by the member to acquire or update his or her knowledge or skills. In the context of a formal activity, the member is in a learning situation when acting as a participant. Time spent on breaks, meals or any other activity without academic content should therefore be subtracted from the calculation of CEUs.

A formal learning activity is defined as an activity designed and delivered by experts in the subject matter and with a predetermined structure, content, objectives and duration. All the course offered by Bia education are therefore likely to be considered as a formal learning activity. During your course at Bia education, you will receive a certificate attesting to the number of hours of continuous education granted to the event.

Then, it is the physiotherapist’s role to define whether the suggested training theme is related to his or her practice and will allow him or her to optimize his or her professional competence.
