COURSE PRESENTER | WARWICK MALONEY

Hi, I’m Warwick… creator of the course, Coach People Experiencing Pain. Nine years ago I got a call from a Pain Specialist Doctor who wanted to start referring clients for Exercise Physiology support. Pain was an area I had limited experience with, sensing my hesitation the Doctor invited me to do some observation at his clinic and quickly I realised how multifaceted pain is. From here I committed to reading, attending courses and developing skills that would help me to support these referrals. Initially I was learning ‘on the fly’, however in time I developed more knowledge and this course is a product of everything I have picked up along the way. I’m not a researcher or a social media guru, I’m just a practitioner who answered an inquiry from a colleague and had to get ‘up-to-speed’ fairly quickly. I look forward to supporting your learning and helping you develop skills that support your clients.

Course Lessons

I found the course really enjoyable. It was well presented, in an easy to absorb format that allowed the learner to develop curiosity and explore different avenues of pain science that interested them. Warwick provided plenty of feedback for the assessments. All in all, it was a great online learning experience that has enabled me to enhance my pain knowledge and pass on this knowledge to patients.
