An estimated 20-25% of North Americans and 1.5 billion people worldwide live with chronic pain and a growing number of health professionals are recommending yoga to their patients particularly since we now have research to support yoga is a potentially safe and effective approach for improving function, pain and quality of life for people with chronic pain.
Yoga therapists are well positioned to contribute to a comprehensive pain care plan.
However, misunderstandings about pain by the therapist can result in suboptimal outcomes for the person in pain. The therapist might use language that unintentionally limits the potential for recovery and resilience or might avoid yoga practices that ultimately would improve the individual’s tissue health, reduce inflammation, support self-efficacy, help restore more ease of movement, and help regain activities that the person enjoys and values in life.
Join Shelly Prosko, Physiotherapist, Yoga Therapist, author and professional continuing education provider in this 3 day yoga therapy course to help clinicians integrate yoga principles, practices and current pain science for a more whole-person centered evidence-informed approach to pain care.
This module includes a combination of lecture and experiential components, including participation in awareness, breathing, meditation and movement practices.
Resources will be shared that will be valuable for the therapist to use for themselves and to share with the people in pain they serve.
