This course is part of the certification : Global Approach to Pain Management
The Global Approach to Pain Management Certification offers an innovative, evidence-based, holistic approach to pain management. This approach integrates 10 key elements including neuroscience and education about pain; stress response; breathing, meditation, imagery, yoga and mindfulness therapy. The management of the person in pain is guided by a bio-psycho-social model. This pain-centered approach takes into consideration the factors that predict rehabilitation outcomes, integrates notions of compassion, neuroplasticity and offers exercises adapted to the person’s condition through yoga-inspired movements and manual techniques.

Very interesting course, but lacks a bit of interaction in the online courses only, so less motivation overall.
Very interesting and rewarding on both a professional and personal level. I’m definitely going to modify my approach with my clientele, but as mentioned in the course, I’ll be compassionate with myself and adjust little by little… I did, however, have a little difficulty with module 10 on imaging. It’s as if something was missing to get the subject off to a good start. I’m probably ignorant of the concept myself, but I needed to do a bit of digging on the web to understand it better and listen to the module a second time to integrate it properly. Thank you for this wonderful course!
Good course, a little long at times.
very interesting and relevant a little long for an online course
It was a very comprehensive course, especially on the theoretical aspect of the pain phenomenon. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about mindfulness meditation and yoga in pain management. For someone who already had a good grounding in the phenomenon of pain, there were a lot of notions that I already knew very well. However, the more practical aspect was newer and very relevant. I would have liked to have been able to explore this aspect further, but I understand that this will be done in levels 2 and 3 and in complementary courses. You can see that the trainer is passionate and knows her content very well. The videos and guided practice sessions were very enriching and much appreciated! Thank you and excellent work!
