On today’s episode of the Pain Waves podcast, we’re joined by Neil Pearson, a renowned physiotherapist, clinical assistant professor and yoga therapist, to talk about how understanding pain in a different way can help improve our process for self-care and managing pain when it persists. We also introduce our collaborative Gentle Movement and Relaxation Course, a free online course that will equip health care providers in BC with knowledge and resources to lead their own movement and relaxation programs for people with persistent pain.

Join us again next month, when we’ll be joined by ICBC to talk about the major changes that are taking place for ICBC claims starting April 1, 2019, and how these changes will impact people with persistent pain.
