Explain Pain EP3 - Melbourne - 2015

Explain Pain EP3 - Melbourne - 27th to 29th March

Explain Pain 3 day course was in swing - Cheers and here's to a good show!

Lorimer Moseley and David Butler are well known in Australia for their courses, research and classic texts Explain Pain and the Explain Pain Handbook. They will present the juiciest parts of their ever-changing Explain Pain course including up-to-date neuroimmune science, the role of space around the body in pain, metaphor and immunology and the power of story telling. They will also introduce the future of explaining pain including the Protectometer and Sarah-Bella as a new clinical tools and the power of DIM SIMs!

To enhance Explain Pain and other therapeutic outcomes we have invited Kevin Vowles, a Psychologist and Associate Professor from the University of New Mexico. Well-versed on all matters in acute and chronic pain, Kevin is the world’s leading exponent of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in relation to chronic pain. As part of the CBT family of therapies, ACT includes acceptance and mindfulness methods along with activation and behaviour change therapies. We are excited – the psychological flexibility which is a cornerstone of ACT will help to supercharge Explain Pain interventions.

Robert Coghill is a genuine heavy in the world of pain. He is Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the Center for Integrative Medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine in South Carolina. Robert’s group at the Pain and Cognition Lab use fMRI and psychophysical techniques to study the fundamental aspects of how the brain makes pain. He has a publication list longer than your arm covering topics such as expectation, neural correlates of mindfulness and itch. We couldn’t ask for a better guide to take us through the latest advancements in pain science.
