The EPS Persisting Pain Program is a 12 week step by step approach to helping individuals manage and recover from chronic pain.
Anyone who is suffering from continuing pain after medical interventions that should reduce or resolve pain have failed.
Pain can be associated with many conditions and this will include both acute and chronic pain. Our focus is to treat the individual and not a condition. This separates pain from a specific condition allowing you to focus on how to self-manage daily life despite pain.
Total support and clear direction for how you can self-manage pain. Our interdisciplinary approach focuses on explaining, educating, and empowering participants with knowledge about the complex combination of biological, psychological, and social factors that exist in an individual pain state.
If your case is associated with an insurance or Workcover claim we will liaise with the insurer and your costs will be covered. If you are a private patient and not covered by insurance we will assess each case individually and an affordable payment plan can be arranged.
Locate the client tab on our website home page and get in touch with us and we will contact you to start the process to enter the program.
The EPS pain management program runs for 12 weeks and includes intensive pain science education and two 2 week implementation phases. The 12 week time frame provides you with more time to engage with the facilitators and fellow participants to absorb and solidify the program content.
The implementation phase is where you are asked to use the strategies learned in the initial 4 weeks education phase. This challenges you to manage daily life and pain on your own to help develop resilience and identify any barriers you may encounter. We are always just a phone call away to provide support though the implementation phase.
Yes. We will liaise with your current health professionals to ensure we are working together to achieve the best outcomes for you.
EPS places a high value on you understanding the results you achieve are contingent on you accepting your role in recovery and the commitment you assign to the new education and recovery strategies. We are always here to help but ultimately results are determined by you.
At this stage, anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to enter the EPS persisting pain management program.
Yes. After completing the program we have scheduled contact periods where we will touch base with you to see how you are going. That aside, we are always available and happy to provide continuing support after the program. You can contact us at any time after completing the pain program.
It is important to know you are not alone. There are other people who are suffering and encountering the same daily challenges that you are. The group dynamic creates a powerful and empathetic environment to engage in learning and recovery with people who understand what you are going through.
Missing a session is not a problem. We record every session and can provide you with a video to catch up. In the second half of the program we have time to review previous content and if there is anything you are unsure about we can talk about it then.
