Our understanding of pain has changed significantly over the last 5-10years and keeping up with the ever evolving evidence can be challenging and sometimes quite overwhelming.
Over the years I have attended a number of amazing seminars presented by world leaders in pain science and its management. These courses have really shaped the way I approach my client management and in turn fuelled a desire to complete further studies in this area.
Last year I was lucky enough to be offered a scholarship to complete a Professional Certificate in Pain Sciences, through the University of SA. This came about via my involvement with the Pain Revolution https://www.painrevolution.org/ and our Local Pain Collective.
Completing this course was a requirement to fulfil my role as a Local Pain Educator, where I work alongside local physio Dan Searle. Together we facilitate and provide education for local health professionals and consumers around our local area, promoting an up to date understanding of pain science.
As such, it has been a big year managing all these commitments including; study, work and fulfilling my role as Local Pain Educator/Facilitator but has also meant I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal. It has also given me the opportunity to meet and collaborate with health professionals from different fields, across Australia and the world.
Since concluding my studies in April I have had an opportunity to refocus on the clinic and apply the information that I have learnt throughout the course.
