  • Address unhelpful beliefs

    Find out why unhelpful beliefs surrounding pain can become a barrier to your patient’s recovery or functional goals if not addressed carefully.

  • Differentiate between hurt and harm

    Discover how hurt and harm aren’t always equivalent and why it’s possible for a person to do activities at a level of pain without causing more damage.
