WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Pain is endemic in our society and whatever the cause – back pain, migraine,
arthritic pain, dental pain, irritable bowel (IBS), labour/menstrual pain,
cancer pain, psychogenic pain, psychosomatic pain – it can be incapacitating.
Chronic pain is any pain which lasts for more than three months and it is
estimated that between 25–40% of our population suffer from persistent or
chronic pain. The sociological and economic costs of this are enormous but it is
in the personal human suffering involved – mental as well as physical – that the
real costs should be measured. Many are desperate for effective help to relieve
their pain and the associated effects, such as insomnia and depression.
This online workshop – with leading pain and musculoskeletal medicine consultant
Dr Grahame Brown – gives you important new information about how we experience
pain – derived from the latest neuroscience – and a powerful range of
psychological techniques for managing pain naturally, preventing it from
escalating and speeding up healing.
You will discover how people can be helped out of the vicious cycle of chronic
pain and how, by working holistically through the bio-psycho-social model,
suffering can be dramatically reduced.
You don’t need to have any prior medical knowledge to learn from and enjoy the
day – you will leave with a much clearer understanding of what is going on in
the mind/body system, what you can do to reduce suffering when pain persists and
ways to prevent chronic ongoing pain from developing.
It is a key event if you work with people suffering from pain at any stage (from
recent onset, recurrent to persistent) or if you would like to find out how to
successfully manage pain without medication.
You will learn a wide variety of pain management techniques, which can easily be
integrated into your work, to help relieve pain and promote recovery – often in
just one session.
> Dr Grahame Brown has a real gift for helping people heal themselves – I know:
> I’m one of them!

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

neuroscientific research) and what is happening in the mind/body system

stop it developing in the first place

whatever cause – no need to feel ‘heart-sink’ with some patients anymore
* An understanding of what is going on when pain persists – and what you can do
about it

patients or yourself
* The importance of the bio-psycho-social model in reducing pain and
accelerating healing
