About this course

Chronic pain affects roughly 20% of adults and is shaped by biological, psychological, and social factors — not just tissue damage. This course translates current pain neuroscience into plain language and guides you through structured self-management tools used in clinical rehabilitation programs worldwide. Every strategy is designed to complement, not replace, advice from your own healthcare providers.
