Partner Event – Lifestyle Medicine and Pain Workshop
Join the British Pain Society and unlock the future of pain management with lifestyle medicine using this transformative workshop for clinicians!
Are you ready to further enhance your biopsychosocial approach to pain management? Join the British Pain Society for an immersive workshop that delves into the emerging role of lifestyle medicine—a science-backed, patient-centred approach built on six transformative pillars: nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of risky substances. For pain clinicians understanding and implementing these principles alongside primary care providers can be a game-changer for our patients in terms of access and support.
Chronic pain is rarely just a physical symptom — we know that it’s deeply entwined with lifestyle factors. Poor dietary habits can fuel inflammation, stress can amplify pain perception, and inadequate sleep can impair healing. The evidence is already present but what has been challenging is getting that message out early enough. Imagine the impact of empowering your patients to make sustainable lifestyle changes that address these root causes much earlier than at present. With a focus on nutrition, this workshop will explore how anti-inflammatory and nutrient-dense diets can mitigate pain, improve energy, and support overall well-being. While we know that physical activity is important for health, understanding mechanisms of action and dose of activity enhances the work with our patients.
But lifestyle medicine isn’t just about the “what”; it’s about the “how.” That’s where behaviour change and coaching principles and the increasing importance of lived experience expertise come into play. As a clinician, you’ll learn evidence-based strategies to help your patients overcome barriers to change, cultivate motivation, and sustain healthier habits. This workshop will help provide the tools you need to act not just as a provider but as a partner in your patient’s journey to better health.
Discover the synergy between lifestyle medicine and pain management: how addressing one domain, like nutrition, can ripple across other pillars to enhance physical function, emotional resilience, and overall quality of life.
