(latest NCVER data)Contemporary pain science helps practitioners understand that a person’s pain experience can be influenced by biological, psychological and social factors rather than tissue findings alone. This unit supports massage practitioners who use pain neuroscience concepts to communicate appropriately and inform treatment-related decisions within their scope.
Learners explore pain mechanisms, distinguish relevant pain presentations and consider factors that can influence a client’s experience. They also apply appropriate communication strategies, recognise circumstances requiring referral and integrate pain-science principles into client education and massage practice.
