2-DAY, 8-HOUR LIVE ONLINE CE COURSE

The Neuroscience of Pain, Posture, and Bodywork

Instructor: Dr. Mark Olson

Join us for an enlightening 2-day, 8-hour online CE course (approved by NCBTMB/NY, CE402036) that explores the intricate connections between posture, pain, and bodywork. Designed for both practitioners with clients experiencing pain and individuals curious about the topic, this course offers a fresh perspective grounded in the latest neuroscience research.

Move beyond traditional tissue-centric models as we dive into modern understandings of pain and posture. You will discover how current neuroscience contrasts with outdated cultural and healthcare paradigms. Gain a comprehensive understanding of pain neurobiology, including sensitization, descending modulation, and the roles of the endocrine and immune systems. Additionally, we will highlight the significant impact of psychosocial factors on chronic pain and their implications for therapeutic success.
