Level 1 summary

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.

Level 1 is built around the 10 key elements of certification. It is an innovative, complete and clinically applicable course that offers the best tools to manage a person in pain in its entirety, according to the latest scientific evidence.

Through this level, the participant will learn many theoretical and practical concepts aimed at:

  • See the person in pain in his or her entirety thanks to the BPS + model
  • Better understand the neuroscience of pain and its impact on the person in pain
  • Be able to explain the phenomenon of pain
  • Better evaluate and classify pain in order to optimize its management
  • Understand the influence of the stress response in pain management
  • Consider predictive factors of therapeutic results
  • Introduce breathing, meditation, mindfulness, imagery and yoga in rehabilitation
  • Provide mindfulness therapy

Key elements addressed are:

  • The BPS+ model
  • Neuroscience of pain: Ceptions, neuromatrix, pain mechanisms
  • Stress response and polyvagal theory
  • Predictors of therapeutic outcome: Motivation, locus of control, self-efficacy, expectations and the therapeutic bond
  • Mindfulness therapy
  • Modern pain education
  • Breathing
  • Meditation and mindfulness
  • Imagery
  • Yoga

Objectives

  1. Apply the bio-psycho-social plus model in the management of the person in pain
  2. Understand and be able to explain the neuroscience of pain in relation to practice and clinical reality
  3. Evaluate and classify pain by mechanism to optimize management
  4. Justify the application of validated questionnaires in pain management
  5. Understand the clinical implication of the stress response and the polyvagal theory in the person in pain and apply it in his management
  6. Recognize the importance of predictors of therapeutic outcome, psycho-social factors, sleep and energy conservation in the management of the person in pain
  7. Integrate the basics of yoga, mindfulness meditation, cardiac coherence and imagery in the optimization of the assessment and management of the person in pain

★★★★★

A very interesting trainer who knows her subject well.

Intéressant et applicable
★★★★★

Very satisfied with the training. Relevant and well-presented information, advice, and practical content applicable in the clinic.

★★★★★

A great training course with tools to help us care for patients with persistent pain.

★★★★★

Excellent training with a good balance between theory and practice.

★★★★★

Interesting training, but too long.

★★★★★

Interesting! The theory could be shorter. Good explanations from the instructor. Thank you.

★★★★★

Good training, comprehensive, easy to understand. The pace of speech was adequate for assimilating the knowledge in real time. Thank you.

★★★★★

Very clinically applicable.

★★★★★

Great training, very comprehensive. Coherent structure. Theory followed by practical application. Stimulating training too! A huge thank you!

★★★★★

Overall good

★★★★★

goos course

★★★★★

The theoretical part is sometimes too heavy, even if it remains relevant. The clinical application sections could benefit from being contextualized in real cases (case histories).

★★★★★

Review of several concepts. Sometimes a little too theoretical. I would have liked more concrete examples, such as case histories, to make the application more interesting.

★★★★★

Relevant topic that brings together several concepts from different areas. A little too theoretical. It would be interesting to have more concrete examples, because yes, in theory there are many aspects to consider, but in practice it is also about choosing the right intervention at the right time, which can be more relevant.

★★★★★

I loved the training from start to finish! It’s a holistic approach full of humanity and compassion that gives me a better idea and a greater repertoire of techniques to try! Thank you very much!

★★★★★

Very interesting. I find that the Yoga part will be more difficult to apply with an elderly clientele in loss of autonomy, but the concepts are relevant.

★★★★★

Lots of interesting notions about pain and well-being, but the course was too long.

★★★★★

Practical and directly applicable in the clinic

★★★★★

Very interesting and rewarding course. Thank you very much!

★★★★★

I didn’t realize we’d be talking so much about yoga.

★★★★★

super interesting, especially the POS theory part

★★★★★

I loved it! Can’t wait for the next course I’ll be taking with you! The only small constructive comment I could make to improve the course (and maybe it’s just me too or because I was taking the course on my ipad and not on my computer, I know that can sometimes cause little “bugs”, to see …) but there were some quizzes that put errors even if it was the right answer. … so it was impossible to get our real score on the quiz… really not a big deal, because it doesn’t really count, but I never liked getting bad marks, so I worked a bit hard to avoid getting a 66%, but without success… lolll That’s all, everything else was perfect! And thank you for all the resources you leave us to direct our further reading and improvement, but also to support the revision or application of the concepts and techniques of the course. Happy to have discovered you this year! Thank you so much!

★★★★★

Thank you very much! Very nice course. Very appropriate for my field of expertise. I learned a lot and it refreshed certain notions.

★★★★★

Very interesting. Many new concepts to integrate. I’d like to continue with the yoga, meditation etc courses on BIA and level 2 too. The teacher is excellent. Thank you

★★★★★

Sometimes difficult to follow the ppt from the video when the camera was aimed at the presenter. I much prefer it when the presenter is small in the corner and the ppt is constantly “open” in the background. Obviously, module introductions and all can be more human by filming the presenter, but then, no more ppt : ) . Very interesting topics, well-rehearsed key messages. Concise. Good mix of theory and clinical applications. (It’s been a long time since I’ve covered anatomy, neurophysiology etc.). It’s good to put some science behind the speeches we’ve been using for years now).

★★★★★

I highly recommend this course.

★★★★★

Very interesting and well-designed course. Very good pedagogy. I’ll be able to quickly integrate elements into my practice.

★★★★★

Very interesting course providing clinical tools.

★★★★★

I liked how comprehensive it was and all the components included. I found the presentation a bit dry and lacked a bit of energy, I found it required a lot of effort from me to pay attention. This course is filled with information that is great, especially for anyone newer to these concepts.

★★★★★

Thank you for the course.

★★★★★

BRAVO!

★★★★★

It’s a good summary of pain

★★★★★

Wow! Excellent presentation that does so much good for my “old physio” soul (34 years of experience…) Emanuelle, you match my vision of comprehensive patient management in every way. You’ve covered all the important points of this holistic and caring approach so well. I work mainly with geriatric patients, who are very insecure and vulnerable, often very overwhelmed by our very complex, impersonal, bio-based healthcare system (you see a # of hip… um… 🫤 where is the human in all its uniqueness?? ) and not at all adapted to their rhythm… I’m committed to giving a human service based on the unique individual in front of me, and your presentation is already helping me to “organize” myself a little better so that I can be more structured and efficient in my care of my patients. You approach it from the angle of more chronic pain, but it can be extrapolated to any clientele!
I’m going to take the time to go over my notes to fully assimilate level 1 and I’m already registered for level 2. Can’t wait to see what happens next! Keep up the great work! You’re so inspiring!

★★★★★

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!

★★★★★

Excellent, evidence-based and compassionate course.

★★★★★

I appreciated the richness of the course, the scientific evidence, a lot of very practical knowledge that I’ll be able to start putting into practice.

★★★★★

Thank you !

★★★★★

very good course, very comprehensive for a good grounding

★★★★★

Wow great course. Several concepts repeated and popularized many times, perfect for retaining information. I’ve already put some breathing techniques into practice, to be continued for the rest. It’s motivating to have new notions and strategies, because it’s sometimes hard to work with clients in pain (and sometimes in distress). Thank you so much!

★★★★★

A very interesting course that allows us to deepen both our knowledge and our tools to better intervene in pain management.

★★★★★

I really enjoyed the course, which will enable me to better help my patients with chronic pain. Thank you very much, great course!

★★★★★

Clear explanations, helpful visual aids. Clinical examples supporting the therapies taught. I’m passionate about yoga and this course made me want to integrate it more with my patients.

★★★★★

Very interesting and explanatory, and I already feel better able to help my patients with several aspects of pain and pain management.

★★★★★

Good course. I would have liked some scenarios or ideas for exercises that help clients relieve pain or modify symptoms other than breathing and yoga. Thank you!

★★★★★

Every physio/ T. phys should take this course! Thank you!

★★★★★

Very interesting course with new approaches to treatment.

★★★★★

excellent course! very inspiring!

★★★★★

Thank you

★★★★★

Very interesting course, with a global approach centered on the person. There are lots of concrete tips that we can use in our clinics with our clients.

★★★★★

I loved it, I’m going to follow the other two levels for sure.

★★★★★

The yoga approach is totally valid and touches all areas of pain management. I think it would be interesting to also add a section on the integration of exercise or physical activity using approaches other than yoga.

★★★★★

I enjoyed this course. I thought it was good up to the breathing and breath application part. Then I kind of dropped out… as I don’t do yoga, meditation etc., I can’t see myself teaching these things… I’d feel incompetent and wouldn’t really know what to say and do. I also find it difficult to apply all this to a physio file with SOAPIE… (Okay, up to and including breathing… ) I liked the questionnaires, several of which I already know. Some are new. Thanks for integrating the printable formats, it’s really appreciated. Thanks for the course! A lot of work went into it!

★★★★★

Very interesting course. I learned a lot. My perception of pain changed a lot with this course. Emmanuelle is very interesting to listen to. It’s also a course that feels good on a personal level. I can’t wait to continue with Emmanuelle’s other courses!

★★★★★

Thank you

★★★★★

★★★★★

I really enjoyed the course! Excellent wrap-up of knowledge acquired through various readings and courses over the past 10 years, with some very relevant and interesting additions: for example polyvagal theory and the BPS+ model. This will help me organize my knowledge and practice. I can’t wait to start Level 2.

★★★★★

Great course! Very well explained.

★★★★★

One of the most interesting courses I’ve ever taken! Many thanks!

★★★★★

This course far exceeded my expectations. It’s relevant, concrete, well-populated and helps a lot to integrate the concepts of yoga, breathing and mindfulness, which are more my area of expertise. What’s more, she offers a lot on a practical level, which I appreciate. Thank you very much to the instructor and the whole team for setting up and organizing this certification. Very professional!

★★★★★

Very interesting. I will definitely do the 2nd level! A lot of things I can integrate into my practice right now. Good visual support.

★★★★★

Very enriching and full of practical tools to implement in the clinic after the course!

★★★★★

I loved it! Thank you so much!

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.
