Pain Science Foundations

With Jon Cain

March 7-8, 2026

Workshop Information

This course challenges commonplace norms and beliefs through a modern understanding of the science of pain. Utilizing the bio-psycho-social model to explain how pain is more than a physical phenomenon, this workshop will cover soft skills for effectively treating pain using more than manual techniques.
