Cory also co-hosts, along with Sandy Hilton, of the popular Pain Science and Sensibility Podcast (http://ptpodcast.com/podcasts/pain-science-and-sensibility/) on the PTPodcast Network (http://ptpodcast.com).
Cory works with individuals who are dealing with movement related problems such as pain or orthopedic injury as well as employers who are struggling with the consequences of pain and injury on their workforce. Services are also provided to individuals hoping to improve performance at work/play/fitness and who are looking for guidance on maintaining healthy movement through the life span.

Course description:
This one day course will focus on the use of cognitive behavior therapy approaches in the physical therapy setting. Exposure based therapeutic models such as graded exposure, graded activity, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and inhibitory learning will be introduced, covering specific applications of each. The role and timing of use of pain science education as an intervention will be clarified in the context of these models. Focus will be on creating consistency in the therapeutic encounter throughout an episode of care and across various presentations of pain.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course the attendee will be able to:
1) Describe the effect sizes of therapeutic interactions as compared to natural course history
2) Describe the key foundational difference between Graded Exposure and Graded Activity approaches
3) Describe the difference between Graded Exposure and Inhibitory Learning approaches.
4) Define Expectancy Violation and provide 3 examples of its use in physical therapy interventions.
5) Describe 3 examples of application of stress induced analgesia in physical therapy interventions.
6) Define how interoception is used to regulate behavioral responses
7) List 3 narrative indicators of progression
8) Describe an example of positive and negative influence on Self-Efficacy.
11) Demonstrate 3 specific examples of exposure based interventions for the upper and lower quarter.
