Applications of Pain Science in Massage Therapy
Online Training
The Applications of Pain Science in Massage Therapy online training will teach you how to integrate pain science and the biopsychosocial model into your practice to help clients increase relaxation, reduce stress, and feel less pain.
As research expands the knowledge of how our bodies function, so too does our understanding of pain science evolve. From outdated concepts of infants not feeling pain to the current biopsychosocial model, accepted scientific perspectives have dramatically affected medical care. Massage therapy is uniquely positioned to get better results when pain science and the biopsychosocial model merge in our work.
Learn the basics of communicating scientific information to your clients to increase relaxation, as well as techniques to apply pain science to your practice.
