An online workshop presented by Maura O'Connor PT, DPT of Venture Physical Therapy of Maui.
According to the National Health Service, chronic or persistent pain is pain that carries on for longer than 12 weeks despite medication or treatment. Your pain is real and also very complex. We will break down the most common types.
Pain is different for everyone. Understanding your pain is the biggest part of managing it. Pain tolerance is different than pain threshold. We'll educate you on how reducing the threats in your brain can aid in the healing process.
You CAN treat Chronic Pain. We'll discuss how education, Physical Therapy, regular exercise, and cognitive awareness can get you to focus on function, and put you back on a path to doing the activities you love again.
