Chronic pain is defined as consistent pain lasting three months or more, or intermittent pain lasting for at least six months. Current research reveals that many long-held views regarding chronic pain and exercise are outdated. In this webinar, corrective exercise expert Anthony Carey, ACE Certified Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist and founder of San Diego-based Function First, will discuss the critical aspects of chronic pain. He’ll also share relevant exercises for clients suffering from chronic pain, based on the biopsychosocial model.
You will learn:
- General guidelines for programming for a client with chronic pain
- How to establish goals and expectations for a client with chronic pain
- The constructs of the biopsychosocial model
Reviews
Great information for the length of the course! Would have liked more time to be spent on programming, ideally with a couple of examples/case studies
As someone passionate about fitness while having chronic pain, the strategies here are superb. While there's psychological aspects to chronic pain, being dismissive can actually be more detrimental than forcing a client to feel or believe the pain isn't real. Of course, always consider recommending a doctor when necessary.
