Summary
Do you think stress and pain are interrelated? Can you recognize stress in your patients? In yourself?
These days, we talk more and more about the effects of stress on human beings. In persistent pain, its effects are often very present and, unfortunately, a hindrance to rehabilitation.
In this webinar, we’ll take a look at the stress response and how it relates to persistent pain. We’ll also discuss signs and symptoms to look for in our patients to recognize stress. Assessment and management techniques will also be demonstrated to help therapists better manage stress in both their clients and themselves.
Objectives
- Summarize the stress response, pain persistence and their interconnection.
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of stress in people in pain.
- Adapt pain management to include stress management.

Excellent trainer. I’m going to adapt my practice to focus more on patients’ stress and psychosocial/environmental situations. Teaching them to do the exercises mindfully and while breathing will be a good start!
