Modern OT has taken our Chronic Pain Management Program online, available to individuals across the province.  This multi-disciplinary group is led by an occupational therapist with a specialty focus of chronic pain management. Based on an adult education model, participants actively learn to understand their chronic pain condition and how to manage pain in order to live a more balanced active lifestyle from our experts:

• Occupational Therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Psychology
• Pharmacy
• Nutrition

We also incorporate activities which you may be able to continue in your own community, such as yoga, mindfulness, and Qigong.

At the end of the program, you will have all of the resources shared with you over the four weeks, which you will have customized to fit your personal goals and plan for ongoing health and wellness when living with a chronic pain condition.

Upcoming dates for 2023:

• February 13 – March 10, 2023
• March 27 – April 21, 2023
• May 1 – May 26, 2023
• June 5 – June 29, 2023
• September 11 – October 5, 2023
• October 16 – November 10, 2023
• November 20 – December 15, 2023

We understand that being online can be fatiguing when you have chronic pain, so there are plenty of opportunities for movement and mindful pauses.  The presenters are engaging, sharing activity sheets and recommending resources that you can easily access in your home and community.

Before you begin the program, the occupational therapist will meet with you individually for an intake interview to further understand your pain experience.

You will need internet access, and a computer or tablet with a microphone and video.  We use secure encrypted video conference technology for live interactive participation.
