Art of Overcoming Pain
October 24, 2018 at the PMA conference | M Resort, Las Vegas
Join us for this special pre-conference event designed to explore the necessity and importance of “overcoming pain”, as opposed to “managing pain” – a paradigm shift that allows for significantly better movement outcomes for clients and patients.
Walk away with an understanding of how our brain creates the awareness of pain and how we react and behave based on this awareness.
Conceived and coordinated by the PMA Board of Directors in collaboration with Hospital for Special Surgery faculty and invited guests, this first-ever presentation will empower Pilates teachers, Physical Therapists and other licensed healthcare professionals with a holistic approach to help their clients and patients overcome pain by focusing on the restoration of function and mobility.

Objectives:
- Compare the role of the physician, physical therapist and Pilates teacher in providing care for patient in pain including appropriate referral to other members of the team
