Title:
Stress and performance- related pain: how understanding pain as a whole person experience leads to trauma-informed ways of working

Synopsis: The understanding of pain as a multi-dimensional experience is increasingly accepted across health professions. Managing pain - including performance-related pain - demands a whole person approach. This often challenges the professional paradigms, knowledge and skills of single discipline approaches and requires extending scope of practice. This presentation will define psychologically-informed practice, pain vulnerability and trauma-informed care and explore the rationale and application of recognising pain as a whole person experience, where creating a context of safety is key.

What exactly is Health Promotion? How do we help instrumental musicians to incorporate healthy behaviors in their daily lives and music playing?

Synopsis: What exactly is Health Promotion? How do we help instrumental musicians to incorporate healthy behaviors in their daily lives and music playing? Dr Ong will be giving us a new perspective on encouraging healthy behaviors by applying theories from the fields of Health Psychology, and social marketing. She will be talking about her main findings from her research studies over the years, and her efforts to encourage healthy playing in musicians from Singapore and Japan. She will also highlight some of the important points to note while managing musicians’ health issues, and using web-based interventions.
