Rehab for painful backs
This is NOT JUST another course telling you movement is important or showing you some new exercises but a course about PEOPLE and how to actually apply movement and exercise to them in a systematic and informed way. You could describe it as clinical reasoning for exercise and rehab!

This is a course about back pain, but NOT only about back pain!
Modern clinical practice requires clinicians to bring together many diverse elements from a wide range of areas. This can often be confusing, overwhelming and leaving many feeling unprepared by previous education.
This course looks to bring together these elements in a cohesive and evidence based framework that gives clinical reasoning skills to reduce the confusion and burden that is often present. This allows both new grad and experienced clinicians to be more confident, relaxed and ultimately more prepared for this challenge!
We move away from the biomedical model, that has failed many patients, to a more comprehensive Biopsychosocial approach. This course incorporates modern pain science, psychology, communication skills, exercise prescription and movement and motor learning principles to cover all the bases you need for a patient focused & active approach to rehabilitation. There are many interactive problem-solving tasks from group discussions, to small group case studies to practical movement-based task so that you can actually ‘feel’ what your patient will feel.
Be prepared to discuss, move & maybe even have your biases challenged. This is not about a bunch of exercises that you could have just watched on YouTube, its understanding research better, improving communication, up skilling clinical reasoning & trimming away the unnecessary fluff. It goes way beyond just sets, reps & technique that often don’t apply well to treating people with pain anyway.
What you will get
- gain comprehensive back pain knowledge that will help you understand, explain, assess & treat back pain from a truly evidence-based position
- simple ready to use strategies for common back pain problems
- a brand new streamlined pain science approach. Lose the complex neuroscience explanations
- psychologically informed communication & interviewing strategies to help people ‘make sense’ of painful problems
- BPS exercise ‘prescription’ model that moves beyond just the tissue
- an ability to confidently navigate uncertainty in diagnosis & treatment
- appreciate movement variability and dynamic systems theory to forget “good/bad” movement/exercise models
- learn an exercise dosing model that redefines pain & exercise
Who is it for
Anyone with a passion to learn & help painful problems.
Those open to new ideas and concepts and the latest research

Learning objectives
- to feel more comfortable understanding and navigating evidence based practice through understanding study design and statistics
- understand the specific evidence base around pain and exercise interventions
- develop a comprehensive framework for applying exercise interventions in line with evidence & patient focused care
- better understand back pain epidemiology, diagnosis and biopsychosocial factors
- be better at treating back pain in an evidence based way primarily through active interventions & exercise principles
This course has been taught on 5 continents, 30 + countries and 100’s of clinicians & coaches with a whole bunch of discussions, laughs and movement experiences.
