Aim of the School

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the main causes of disability worldwide, severely impacting the quality of life of those affected and society as a whole. Its epidemiological relevance is evident from its high prevalence and significant impact on public health. To effectively address musculoskeletal pain, it is essential to adopt a multidisciplinary approach that integrates different skills and therapeutic perspectives, taking into account the physical, psychological and social dimensions of the problem.

Rehabilitation and pain control are fundamental aspects in the management of the person with musculoskeletal pain. Rehabilitation aims to restore functionality and improve quality of life through a program of targeted exercises, manual techniques and physical therapies. Pain control, on the other hand, focuses on reducing suffering and increasing pain tolerance, using a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.

There can be no one without the other.

The “Europain School” aims to address pain and pain related disability in musculoskeletal disorders in a multidimensional, integrated and multidisciplinary way. For this reason, alongside electures on functional neuroanatomy, clinical pharmacology and functional rehabilitation, a series of workshops and hands on sessions on some non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments for pain control in a rehabilitation setting have been organised.

The School structure is of a residential school and will have front lessons, hands-on sessions and workshops.

Front lessons will also be recorded and available on the school website.

Front lessons will last 45 minutes with 15 minutes for questions & answers.

The School is prepared to host the attendants and to give them full board accommodation.

Dinners with the Faculty are also free from charge and are a distinguish feature of the school.
