OTM Webinar 2024 - Physical Activity and Chronic Pain

Описание: There is clear evidence demonstrating the benefits of physical activity (PA) on pain and overall health, however, PA is challenging for many individuals living with chronic pain. Even non-exercise specialists can (cost) effectively promote PA, but many health professionals report a number of barriers in providing guidance on PA, suggesting that it is not consistently promoted.

The EFIC On The Move Campaign Working Group recently published a publication in the European Journal of Pain (EJP) on the topic. Join this webinar to learn about the current evidence and recommendations for healthcare professionals to assess, advise and support individuals living with any chronic pain condition with a long life expectancy, in adopting and sustaining physically active lifestyles.
