Reconciling Biomechanics in Pain Science

Dr. Greg Lehman, BKin, MSc, DC, MScPT

Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science is a two-day course
that mixes a lecture, case study and hands-on learning format.
The course has been taught throughout the world with the aim of
simplifying the biomechanical approach to injury and pain
management.

With emerging research there is often the feeling that a traditional
approach needs to be wholly discarded. Instead, this course helps
the therapist to integrate the pain science and biopsychosocial
model of pain with traditional biomechanical techniques.
The course simplifies many of those techniques and distills the
most relevant and important aspects of those techniques for pain
resolution and injury management.

By addressing both the weaknesses and strengths of the biomechanical
approach, treatment can be much simpler, congruent with the cognitive,
neuroscience approach and best evidenced based practice.
You will learn how ”pain science” can be taught to patients in a
way that builds resilience, optimism and promotes healthy and
independent behaviours.

The course is a mix of a discussion based lecture, case studies and
practical components.
