What is Graded Motor Imagery?

Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is an evidence based, graded, brain training programme which accesses the virtual body in the brain. It is useful for a wide range of chronic pain states where the central nervous system may be up-regulated, including osteoarthritis, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, phantom pains and ‘non-specific’ spinal pains. It gives new hope to many people in pain.

GMI involves the use of Apps, Flashcards, motor imagery, mirrors and Explain Pain education. In this course, participants are given the confidence and skills to use GMI immediately and to effectively integrate it into their current practice.

The course is structured around practical sessions supported by discussion of clinical applications.

This course is open health professionals involved in pain and stress management

Objectives

At the end of the course, participants will:

  • Understand the process of GMI and where it fits into an overall treatment programme
  • be able to identify appropriate patients for GMI from both clinical presentations and research outcomes
  • have knowledge of the scientific underpinnings of GMI
  • have practical skills in using the three components of GMI
  • be able to confidently translate learnt GMI skills to effective treatment applications

Some Practicalities

  • The course will be presented live, by zoom
  • The teacher and the participants are all present on screen.
  • You can choose to have your video on or off for the lectures. It is better to have it on for group work but not essential.
  • You will be guided when you need to mute your sound or make it live for discussion and group work.
  • The course is a combination of lectures and practical sessions spread over 14 hours.
  • There are small group activates in breakout sessions throughout the course where participants are allocated to a group to complete tasks.
  • There are also theory sessions and discussion and question time.
  • The teacher shares their screen to show PowerPoint presentation.
  • You will be sent an online workbook and links to the Zoom meetings a week before the course.
