Practical education for people living with persistent or chronic pain: understanding pain, building movement safely, improving function and self-management, and navigating healthcare information and services.
Many people with persistent pain have been through years of appointments and treatments, improved somewhat, plateaued, and eventually been told to live with it. How you live with it is exactly what modern pain science has learned the most about. Chronic pain can be managed and worked around, and function can improve.
This program teaches those methods in a structured way.
Movement is central to managing most chronic pain. The program teaches you to start from a pain-stable baseline and progress gradually, with pacing rather than pushing.
The program is taught by Lisa Jasper, PT, PhD. She has practiced physiotherapy since 1995, much of it with chronic pain patients in multidisciplinary teams. At the University of Alberta she coordinates the Certificate in Pain Management and teaches graduate courses on the multidimensional nature of pain and the management of clinical pain conditions. Her master’s research examined chronic pain mechanisms, and her published work spans pain, arthritis, and recovery after joint replacement.
At this time we have a waitlist in place, and those who join the waitlist will be notified about upcoming programs. If you would like more information in the meantime, our YouTube channel provides free educational resources on managing chronic pain.
