Making Exercise Count for Musculoskeletal Pain Workshop
Musculoskeletal conditions are the biggest cause of disability internationally and impose substantial burdens on society and individuals. In Australia, upwards of 29% of the population experience a musculoskeletal condition. Exercise is a primary treatment modality for many musculoskeletal conditions and consistently recommended in clinical practice guidelines.
Making Exercise Count for Musculoskeletal Pain – AEP Best Practice
MSK conditions are the biggest cause of disability internationally and impose substantial burdens on society and individuals. In Australia, upwards of 29% of the population experience an musculoskeletal condition. Exercise is a primary treatment modality for many musculoskeletal conditions and consistently recommended in clinical practice guidelines. For many AEPs, the treatment of musculoskeletal pain is a substantial component of their daily clinical practice.
This program aims to improve AEPs theoretical knowledge and clinical skills regards planning and implementing evidence-based, best practice care exercise interventions for chronic musculoskeletal pain. This includes:
delivering patient centred care through the provision of individualised exercise interventions based on patient context and preference;
planning and implementing a detailed initial assessment (screening physical assessment, etc) as the basis for sound clinical decision making regards the treatment approach and the exercise intervention delivery best suited to each patient;
communicating effectively with patients including education about physical activity, pain and injury best suited to each patient’s narrative;
ensuring that exercise interventions adhere to clinical practice guidelines;
optimising exercise prescription and exercise delivery to promote participation, motivation and increase the likelihood of sustainable treatment outcomes;
the use of subjective and objective outcome measures to evaluate and report patient progress; and
identifying and replacing unhelpful passive treatment modalities (escalating medication, excessive rest, hands on treatment) with active modalities (mind- body modalities, pacing, self-reflection/talk).
The program is concerned with the practical application of theoretical knowledge to clinical practice and will involve short presentations of key concepts by the convenor interspersed with practical application through individual and team-based learning activities. The intention is to provide collaborative and interactive learning opportunities through the collective input from all participants and the convenor.
