Course Description

MODULE 1
The Answer to Chronic Pain: Looking Just Beneath the Surface
Joe LaVacca, PT, DPT, OCS, CFSC, FMS, FMT-C, SFMA
Improve your treatment of chronic pain. We’ll examine:
  • Fascial layers and their impact and role on the CNS

  • Breathing exercises and yoga/exercise combinations that ease pain
Packed with treatment examples, you’ll learn an approach that encompasses more than just muscles and bones.
MODULE 2
Pain Management & Neuroplasticity Using Yoga, Meditation, & Mindfulness
Betsy Shandalov, OTR /L, C-IAYT, CYKT
Yoga, meditation and mindfulness not only help chronic pain, but also change the brain structure on how pain is perceived and its impact on overall wellness. In this session, you’ll learn evidence-based interventions to transform the nervous system around your clients’ pain, such as:
  • Breathing techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system
  • Active and restorative yoga poses
  • Yoga and meditation to help clients find balance of mind and body
  • Changing energy levels to help with pain management
You’ll be able to create individualized pain treatment plans that incorporate yoga, meditation and mindfulness to help clients be balanced in their body and brain throughout the day!
MODULE 3
Using Mindfulness to Improve Outcomes with Chronic Pain Patients
Clyde Boiston, PT, OCS, CMF, TCHI
Physical pain is a natural and inevitable part of life, but it is all the stories we often tend to lay on top of the pain which can bring on additional suffering. We cannot necessarily control the pain which enters our life, but how we relate to the pain is what we do have control over. Some basic mindfulness practices can help shift this relationship. In this workshop, we will present some of the latest research on mindfulness showing how it can change the way our bodies experience pain. Gain evidence-based pain relief strategies that you can begin to implement right away with your patients and clients.
Become a more resilient and compassionate clinician: this is where healthcare and mindfulness meet.

Evaluate posture and movement based on muscle slings and myofascial lines. Treat keystone areas with hands-on techniques, such as IASTM and dynamic cupping. Learn specific, scoliosis and Pilates method-based exercises to rebalance and correct these malalignments beyond the basic back stabilization exercises.
