          Relaxation Techniques for Pain Reduction

          Board Approved – Live 7 CEUs

          Integrating progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, visualization, and breathing techniques into your existing plan of care will help your patients reduce anxiety, anticipatory pain, fears associated with pain medical interventions, muscle guarding and compensatory strategies by allowing your patient to reach a state of relaxation for both the mind and the body. As therapists, we promote healing. Increase your effectiveness with these simple techniques to reduce pain, establish a solid patient connection that keeps your patients coming back to you. Time spent with the patient remains the same, but your verbal guidance in the session will leave the patient feeling more connected and refreshed. Adding this component into your sessions will set you apart from other therapists and your patients will sing you praises with this multi approach to pain reduction.

          1. Participant will be able to identify the benefits of relaxation techniques
          2. Participant will understand and utilize relaxation techniques effectively within your scope of practice
          3. Participant will be able to perform specific manual strategies to help induce a relaxed state while performing progressive muscle relaxation and visualization techniques.
          4. Participant will become familiar with key words and phrases to attain and maintain relaxed state
          5. Participant will gain a better awareness of grounding and centering yourself so that you are fully present for your patient without exhausting your own energy

          What motivates many patients to show up for therapy? While our smiling faces and great personalities can contribute to a good therapy experience, patients are often motivated to attend therapy because they have pain and they believe the physical or occupational therapist can help alleviate their pain and improve their function. Patient’s often rate their therapy success level on their pain levels. We know pain is often anticipated pre and post-surgery, during cancer treatment, and with chronic pain conditions, but now we can greatly help our patients by incorporating relaxation techniques into our existing treatments and reducing pain in our patients for a more effective treatment intervention.

          Physical and occupations therapists, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapy assistants, registered nurses, massage therapists and other medical professionals interested in learning guided imagery and relaxation techniques. Estheticians in medical settings can also incorporate these advanced techniques to enhance their treatments.

          This will benefit medical professionals and the patients
