Evidence-based pain management
Jonathan has undertaken further training in several well-researched approaches used in modern pain management, including:
• pain neuroscience education
• psychological approaches to pain
• mindfulness-based strategies
• behavioural change techniques
• clinical communication and motivational methods
You don’t need to understand the technical details.
What matters is that these approaches are supported by strong research and have helped many people with long-standing pain make meaningful progress.
When this approach may help
This work is particularly suited to people experiencing:
• long-standing back or neck pain
• pain that hasn’t responded to treatment
• fibromyalgia
• persistent joint or muscle pain
• nerve pain
• recurring injury pain
• pain that worsens during stress or fatigue
It is also helpful for people who feel they have become stuck in a cycle of pain, worry and flare-ups.
Working alongside your healthcare team
Where appropriate, this approach can work alongside other professionals including:
• GPs
• physiotherapists
• specialists
• other healthcare providers
A collaborative approach often provides the best results.
