"We want this event to be nothing less than life changing for you as clinicians, and for the people you help through your work."

Welcome to an exciting journey of discovery and learning! During this course you will delve into the fascinating world of learning and its relationship to pain. You'll explore the power of priors and models, and how they can shape our predictions and trigger updated models when errors occur.

Through the course, you'll understand how to weigh the relative importance of prior and new data and how to optimise error detection. You'll also gain insight into associative learning, the principles of Conceptual Change, reinforcement frequency, predictability, and emotional context. You'll learn to distinguish different data sets, understand extinction principles and how they relate to pain, and assess what you have conditioned. 

In addition, we'll delve into the science of long-term potentiation, which examines how emotional engagement can impact learning and memory. We'll also discuss toll-like receptors and molecular pattern recognition, and how they contribute to our understanding of pain. 

This course emphasises the importance of considering multiple factors that influence pain, such as past experiences, current environment, social connections, and general health. You'll learn strategies to optimise learning and reduce pain, including movement, loading, and inflammation control. You'll also be introduced to various tools, such as the Protectometer, DIMS, and SIMS, to aid in the assessment and treatment of pain. 

At the end of the course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of learning and how it relates to pain. You'll be equipped with various tools and strategies to optimize learning and reduce pain. So, come join us and let's embark on an exciting journey of learning and discovery!
