QSMC Pain Program
What Is the QSMC Pain Program?
The QSMC Pain Program is an evidence-based program designed for the management of persistent pain using a biopsychosocial approach. The program is aimed at empowering you to improve your understanding of your persistent pain, and assist you in the self-management of your recovery. It will provide you with:
- Assessment:
A thorough, whole person assessment of your persistent pain problem.
- Explanation:
A clear explanation of the factors which contribute to your persistent pain, which help you understand your experience fully.
- Tailored Program:
An individually tailored program, specific to you, with strategies and treatments to help your progress towards your goal.
- Advice:
Advice on suitable exercise, activity, lifestyle, and psychological factors influencing your pain.
The program will commonly consist of six physiotherapy and psychology sessions over a three month time period. Other health care providers, including an Exercise Physiologist and Dietician may also contribute to your recovery as needed.
