What is unique to Explain Pain School?

Explain Pain School is delivered over eight weeks, with two-hour live sessions each week and extensive clinical mentoring; the extended format has been a revelation for deep understanding and flexible clinical application of the Explain Pain approach.

The beauty of this course, all of the sessions are recorded. This means you can join live, catch up later on demand, or simply just watch the session again on replay.

Each session is interactive and gives attendees the opportunity to share experiences and hear from others on the course. You will receive weekly exercises to create experiential learning opportunities to see how applying different elements of the educational process can aid work with your clients. You will be introduced to a wide variety of pain literature with weekly reading.

• The course will be live and delivered via Zoom. Links to the recording and weekly exercises are sent weekly via email.
• NOI’s usual high quality
• Comprehensive teaching materials will be provided

⁠

In a world experiencing an epidemic of chronic pain and increasing evidence of the failure of synthetic drugs, simple but extremely powerful educational tools can effectively target the natural pain treatment systems within us all.

Knowledge is power. In the new series of Explain Pain courses delivered by NOI instructors around the world, contemporary pain sciences are made accessible and understandable for all.

We know more about pain in the last twenty years than in the thousand years before and it’s all providing answers to “why do I hurt the way I do” and “what can I do about it”. The knowledge is applicable to young and old, from back pain to hemiplegia and general aching to the complexities of phantom pain and complex regional pain syndrome.

Explain Pain works to reduce catastrophisation and negative pain beliefs and when combined with active treatment, reduces pain and enhances return to work and play. Explain Pain has no side effects, is available around the clock, and you can share the knowledge and strategies with others.

Don’t miss this opportunity. NOI Explain Pain courses are fun, intellectually stimulating, based on evidence, always challenging, and integrate the Explain Pain ecosystem of Explain Pain, The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer, and Explain Pain Supercharged. You will come away with the most impressive therapeutic tool set ever!
