Pain Unstuck takes a fresh look at pain through the lens of active inference. Active inference flips our understanding of how the nervous system operates and provides a potential explanatory framework to guide your clinical practice.


This 2-day course takes participants on a journey to consider pain as a deeply personal, conscious experience. This means pain doesn’t live in the tissues, nor in the brain. Rather, pain sits somewhere in between, emerging from the delicate dance between sensory information and your unconscious predictions.


Using case studies, participants will learn how to help their patients understand that it is safe to move, feel that it is safe to move, experience safe movement and repeatedly move with confidence.


What you will learn: 
 ✅ Screening for increased risk of serious structural pathology
 ✅ Screening for increased risk of neuropathic pain
 ✅ Understanding the evidence for exercise as a treatment for persisting pain
 ✅ Retraining the sensorimotor system through sensory precision training, implicit and explicit pre-motor training, and feedback-enriched and goal oriented movement. 
 ✅ Planning a comprehensive exercise rehabilitation programme for persons with persisting pain 
 ✅ Experimenting with movement as a form of learning 
 ✅ Aligning existing treatments (e.g. manual therapy, taping, etc) with this active inference perspective of pain
