APS Members have Discount Rate to Pain Management Workshop through the Australian Physiotherapy Association

In 2019, the Australian Physiotherapy Association developed a foundational pain workshop called Pain Level 1. The course presents the key concepts of pain and pain management, using the IASP core curricula as its basis.

Key areas discussed in the course are Concepts of Pain, Epidemiology, Mechanisms and Contributors to pain, and Assessment and Management approaches to pain.

The course can be accessed in 2 different forms, either as a face-to-face workshop or as a hybrid online/webinar series. Both options provide for a strong “workshop” delivery model, where attendees discuss the relevant concepts in a group situation and develop evidence-based clinical skills for the assessment and management of pain.

Whilst the course was developed for the APA, its construction around the foundational concepts of pain always allowed for a wide range of possible professions to attend.
