Description
Graded Motor Imagery Online – live and interactive
• The course will be live and delivered via Zoom
• Class sizes are kept small to maximise interaction and time for questions
• NOI’s usual high quality
• Comprehensive teaching materials will be provided
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is an evidence based, graded, brain training programme which accesses the virtual body in the brain. It is useful for a wide range of chronic pain states where the central nervous system may be up-regulated, including osteoarthritis, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, phantom pains and ‘non-specific’ spinal pains. It gives new hope to many people in pain.
GMI involves the use of Apps, Flashcards, motor imagery, mirrors and Explain Pain education. In this course, participants are given the confidence and skills to use GMI immediately and to effectively integrate it into their current practice.
The course is structured around practical sessions supported by discussion of clinical applications.
At the end of the course, participants will:
1. Understand the process of GMI and where it fits into an overall treatment programme
2. be able to identify appropriate patients for GMI from both clinical presentations and research outcomes
3. have knowledge of the scientific underpinnings of GMI
4. have practical skills in using the three components of GMI
5. be able to confidently translate learnt GMI skills to effective treatment applications
Tim is a pain specialist physiotherapist and pain educator living in Tunbridge Wells, UK. He’s been teaching with NOI since 2006 during which he has co-authored the Graded Motor Imagery Handbook, alongside David Butler and Lorimer Moseley.
He is the co-founder of Le Pub Scientifique, a unique learning platform connecting people interested in pain to the latest science and the world leading experts on pain. He is also co-founder of Pelvic Pain Matters, a group dedicated to improving the lives of men suffering pelvic pain.
Tim splits his time between his clinical role treating people experiencing persistent pain and helping to offer hope for recovery; teaching and mentoring healthcare professionals interested in growing as clinicians; and organising and running pain-related events.
