Summary and Learning Outcomes

Summary
 Discover how to move beyond a narrow, pain-focused model of care and discover the power of Values-Based Rehabilitation (VBR) in your clinical practice. This module equips you with the tools to help people living with persistent pain reconnect with what truly matters to them- whether that’s returning to sport, spending quality time with family, or thriving at work. Through engaging teaching, assessment and real-world case-based questions, you will learn how to explore patient/client values, formulate and break down measurable goals, and apply graded exposure strategies that foster confidence and resilience. You will also gain clarity on the role and importance of acceptance in persistent pain. Designed for musculoskeletal professionals across varied backgrounds and clinical settings, this module will enhance your ability to deliver person-centred, evidence-informed care, that improves participation in meaningful life activities and quality of life in people living with persistent pain.
