Pain Literacy
A Course for Health Professionals Working With Persistent Pain
Pain is complex. Working with people who live with persistent pain requires more than exercises, protocols, or pain scales.
Pain Literacy is a 6-hour course designed for health professionals who want to better understand pain, connect more deeply with their clients, and confidently support people living with persistent pain.
Who This Course Is For
This course is for health professionals who work with clients living with persistent pain. Pain that has lasted longer than three months.
We know pain can be structural. We know acute injuries heal at different rates. We also know that after three months, the nervous system can begin to change, altering neural pathways and contributing to ongoing pain experiences even when tissue healing has occurred.
Pain Literacy is for professionals who want to:
Move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches
Better understand the nervous system’s role in pain
Support clients as individuals, not just diagnoses
How This Course Supports You and Your Clients
This Pain Literacy course is designed for professionals who work with people living with persistent pain. You don’t need to live with chronic pain yourself, but effective pain work requires connection, listening, and understanding.
This Pain Literacy course includes:
Building Trust & Safety:
Learn how to create a sense of safety and trust with clients living with pain, supporting the nervous system before movement or rehabilitation begins.
Understanding Pain Beyond the Pain Scale:
Develop a deeper understanding of pain as a complex experience involving the nervous system, perception, beliefs, and context not just tissue damage.
Compassionate Communication Skills:
Learn how to communicate in ways that reduce fear, threat, and anxiety, using language that supports regulation and confidence.
Person-Centered Support:
Gain tools to meet clients where they are in each session, responding to their needs in the moment rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.
Confident Movement & Rehabilitation Guidance:
Support clients through movement and rehabilitation with greater awareness, helping them build confidence, safety, and trust in their bodies.
Pain Literacy
It is not optional anymore.
Welcome, whether you have an understanding of pain science, or you are brand new, we'll talk about the research behind it and how we can best educate and blend this knowledge into our practice to truly help the people who come to us for answers.
Understanding the research can sound straight forward, but when you sit with someone living with pain, it can become a cloudy process. Each person has their own goals, experiences, obstacles, and more. We need to be able to recognize these differences to help build their individual path forward.
Throughout your learning, you'll start to see some patterns, please try and remain curious and keep that curiosity open while working with each client. This helps keep them curious and open-minded.
We'll also focus on the practical application of pain science. You’ll learn how to combine education, communication, and clinical skill to help clients move forward safely and confidently without minimizing their experience.
This is about working with the nervous system, not against it.
In this course, you will learn:
Why persistent pain patterns stay the same, so you can stop blaming circumstances and start identifying real drivers of change
How belief systems influence pain and recovery, so you can help clients move out of fear and helplessness
How pain science applies in real conversations, so clients feel understood instead of corrected
How to reduce fear and threat through language and presence, so the nervous system can find safety & calm

Hello! I’m Amber Kyliuk,
I am a Registered Kinesiologist with both professional training and lived experience with persistent pain.
My clinical focus developed after experiencing chronic back pain that began shortly before the birth of my first daughter. At the time, I owned a yoga studio and taught movement-based classes for back care. Despite regular exercise and rehabilitation, my pain persisted, leading me to seek answers within traditional, structural models of care.
After being told surgery was my only remaining option, I began exploring contemporary pain science approaches. Being introduced to Explain Pain through the NOI Group shifted my understanding of pain from a purely structural issue to a complex nervous system experience shaped by perception, context, and learned responses.
In 2020, I completed a Pain Mentorship with Cor-Kinetic, and in 2023 I earned my certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy. I continue to integrate evidence-based pain science, movement rehabilitation, and psychologically informed, mind–body approaches into my work.
If you are looking to deepen your understanding of pain and improve how you support clients living with persistent pain, I invite you to join me in the Pain Literacy course.
