A free learning series for community-based OTs and Physios:
Real-world strategies for complex pain management

Join us for a learning series designed specifically for community-based clinicians. We move beyond theory into real-world “supervision-style” discussions, unpacking the nuance, the struggle, and the practical strategies that actually move the needle.

Hosted by Alex Scott and James Morley, two highly experienced community physiotherapists who collectively have twenty years of community neuro experience as well as post-grad pain studies under their belt.

What we’ll cover together:

• Untangling complexity: How to manage persistent pain alongside significant disability.
• Practical strategies: Delivering education to clients with cognitive or memory impairments.
• System navigation: Providing meaningful support within NDIS funding constraints.
• Real-world plans: Developing actionable management plans for home and community settings.
• Client education: Pain education for clients with cognitive or communication impairments
• Funding barriers: How to be resourceful and impactful with minimal funding
• Scope of support: Knowing when and where to refer on
• Looking after you: How to avoid burnout and wellbeing strategies

This isn’t just another lecture. It’s a transparent look at our wins, our flops, and the evidence-based strategies we use to help clients live their best lives.
