Australian Pain Society Position Statement
on Pain Management Programs
SUCCESS DOES NOT = PAIN REDUCTION
Pain reduction is a goal but pain elimination is not the
expected (or a reasonable) end point
OPEN COMMUNICATION IS KEY Alignment of goals between all stakeholders
TIME IS REQUIREDDesired behaviours need time to be normalised
Passive therapies work against this
