Over the past two decades, pain science has advanced significantly, reshaping our understanding of chronic pain. Today, leading physiotherapists recognize that addressing chronic pain goes beyond teaching patients to manage symptoms. At SIRPA, we empower health professionals to look at the whole picture, enabling patients to reclaim their lives. Why Chronic Pain is More Than Just a Sensation Research now shows that chronic pain is not an indication of tissue damage. Rather, it is a 'protective' response orchestrated by the brain. This response can be triggered by various factors, including sensory & emotional inputs, fearful beliefs, memories, expectations, & cultural norms. Key contributors to the persistence of pain include anxiety, depression, negative pain beliefs & exposure to past trauma, among others. Unfortunately, despite the extensive evidence connecting stress, trauma, emotions, personality traits & mindset with chronic pain, most of these factors are often overlooked in treatment plans. That's where SIRPA's courses comes in. What Our Training Offers SIRPA’s online accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses are designed for physiotherapists & other health professionals eager to deepen their understanding of pain neuroscience & focus on recovery for their clients. Our updated, comprehensive courses, launching anew in September 2024, offer an enriched online experience, drawing on nearly 200 scientific studies. These courses equip you with the tools to: 1. Explore the Behavioural, Emotional, & Psychosocial Aspects of Pain: We help you guide your patients in understanding the 'story' behind their pain, identifying predisposing & triggering factors, as well as addressing their physiological response to stress. 2. Enhance Emotional Awareness: By building emotional awareness, patients learn to regulate their nervous system, improving their capacity to safely identify & acknowledge unresolved emotions—key factors in persistent pain. 3. Integrate Comprehensive Care: Our training emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on recovery rather than pain management. When necessary, we facilitate referrals to psychotherapists trained in the SIRPA approach, ensuring comprehensive care. Evidence Supporting this Whole-Person Approach A recent study in Boulder, Colorado, highlighted the effectiveness of just one aspect of SIRPA’s approach. Their findings were that 68% of participants who engaged with pain reprocessing therapy were free of pain, or nearly free (VAS 0/1), following treatment & this was maintained a year later. They attributed their success to: 1. Reducing the fear of pain & reclassifying the issue as non-injurious. 2. Building a strong therapeutic relationship & engaging with others who have recovered. 3. Addressing & managing stressors contributing to their pain. Join the Leading Edge of Chronic Pain Recovery SIRPA’s CPD courses were the first to train health professionals in integrating a mindbody approach to chronic pain & other persistent symptoms. Our updated courses remain the most comprehensive in the field, combining evidence-based learning with practical, experiential strategies. In addition to our robust training courses, we offer peer support & clinical supervision for students, as well as numerous professional development opportunities through our ongoing membership.
