The Problem

Why do some patients understand information about pain and others don’t? How do we get more patients interested in managing their pain? Do you feel disillusioned about your PT role as a “fixer” of the patients’ problems?

Research shows there is a mismatch between what people in pain need and what healthcare professionals are equipped to provide.

Pain is complex, education is complex, practice is complex!

In 1989, a group of economists published a study that coined the term “curse of knowledge.” They describe this curse as a cognitive bias that makes it difficult for those who know the answer to a problem to think about the problem from the perspective of someone who doesn’t. 

What does this have to do with physiotherapy? Well, are your patients understanding what you’re teaching them when it comes to pain management? Do they seem motivated to self-manage their pain, i.e. do their homework and take initiative in their own care?

 

The Solution

This course explores a cutting-edge, patient-centered approach using a variety of practical learning methods to help your patients better understand and manage their pain. It provides a range of practical applications and innovative learning methods to make you a more effective educator and improve clinical outcomes.
