Empowering Recovery: Contemporary Science and Practice in Chronic Pain Prevention and Care

Alongside mental ill health, chronic pain stands as one of the most pressing health challenges of our time. Pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and PTSD often walk hand-in-hand, contributing to more disability, economic burden, lost workdays, and early retirements than any all other group of health conditions combined. Fortunately, rapid advances in our understanding of how pain works, how it becomes chronic, and how we can better support recovery, have dramatically shifted what’s possible - not just for those living with pain, but for broader models of care.

Empowering Recovery is a 12-hour professional development course designed for health and medical professionals. It brings together the latest discoveries, practical skills, and clinical resources that are driving an international movement toward better pain-related clinical outcomes and higher self-efficacy for clinicians when working with people facing pain, with clear applications for those with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or fatigue.

Join Professor Lorimer Moseley AO - a globally renowned educator and sought-after keynote speaker - for an engaging, hands-on learning experience. Expect active, collaborative sessions packed with practical tools you can use immediately. Bring coloured pencils, post-it notes, and plenty of A4 paper!
