Changing pain and movement behaviour in chronic low back pain
This brief blended workshop is dynamic, interactive, and practical. In advance of the workshop, participants will have access to 4 hours of high quality online learning- including videos, podcasts and interviews. The live workshop is unique in that it involves a live patient assessment, using a clinical reasoning checklist, followed by detailed debrief and clinical reasoning among the group.

Kieran O'Sullivan is one of the international researchers who worked intensively together with Prof. Peter O’Sullivan to develop the ‘Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) intervention. CFT is an approach to the management of pain disorders that considers factors across the biopsychosocial spectrum that contribute to the development and maintenance of a pain disorder. It provides a logical framework allowing skilled clinicians to both diagnose, triage, and target management where appropriate. CFT integrates cognitive strategies and functional movement rehabilitation to reduce pain and disability. There is emerging evidence that the CFT approach provides better clinical outcomes than the current best clinical practice in the management of non-specific chronic spinal pain.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Apply contemporary pain mechanisms evidence to individual people with LBP
- Appreciate how diversity within the population of people with LBP can be managed flexibly, yet consistently
- Apply, and clinically reason using, the CFT framework
- Develop communication skills acquired to deal with complex pain problems
- Develop competency in designing cognitive, movement and lifestyle components to rehabilitation
Be aware that there will be between 6-8 hours of preparation before the live workshop takes place!
