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.

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.
