INTG-05 - The Meeting Place of Movement, Medicine and the Mind: Successfully Treating Persistent Pain

Thursday, September 4, 2025
7:30 AM – 8:25 AM PST
Location:  Gracia 3-4 (Level 3)
Integrating pain knowledge into care can enhance and improve outcomes. There is often a gap between learning new information and its practical application. The field of physical therapy, psychology and pharmacology and its role in optimizing patient care can be enhanced through increasing knowledge and exposure to practical ways that a pain physical therapist applies psychosocial approaches to treatment of persistent pain and actual experiential knowledge of how mechanisms of breath work, gentle movement, pacing integration and graded exposure can establish a sense of safety for a patient when learning to move again.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply practical application of pacing integration with experiential learning
  • Provide instruction on methods for guiding clients in goal setting and progress tracking
  • Demonstrate coordination of multidisciplinary care from a physically informed psychologist and a psychologically informed physical therapist
