Royal College of Chiropractors CPD event – Stress and Musculoskeletal Disorders with Paul Weston

EVENT OUTLINE

This presentation will review the relationship between stress and msds and present strategies to help you better manage the stress response in clinical chiropractic practice.
Stress related ill health, both mental and physical is one of the greatest threats to health and well-being. It is the most common cause of chronic non-communicable disease and contributes to our inability to ward off infectious disease. Recent evidence has demonstrated the causative relationship between work related stress and musculoskeletal disorders (msds). Improved clinical outcomes rely on an integrated biopsychosocial approach addressing both the mind and the body.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Gain improved understanding of stress neurophysiology
• Develop increased awareness of the health effects of chronic stress
• Evaluate current models of the relationship between stress and msds
• Review the evidence relating psychosocial stress to msds
• Integrate strategic body-mind approaches to stress management in the clinical setting
• Develop personal and professional resilience
