This is an Interdisciplinary Chronic Pain program structured around CARF standards and delivered at CARF accredited facilities. It is a multimodal, interdisciplinary, functional restoration and cognitive behavioural approach to pain management. The program also includes elements of the Progressive Goal Attainment Program with focus on disability reduction rather than solely pain reduction. The team comprises a medical director, CBT therapist, team psychologist, kinesiologist and other clinical staff including vocational expertise as required. It is a 32 day program with the objective of reducing disability and pain and increase functional capability for claimants who are beyond normal tissue healing despite previous attempt at rehabilitation.

The program is designed for claimants who present with limitations that interfere with their abilities to function physically, psychologically and socially and or vocationally and who are at least three months post accident. It excludes medically unstable claimants, claimants with aggressive behaviour and those in psychological crisis.

Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP)

PGAP is a program designed to minimize disability by preventing maladaptive decline into sedentary patterns and targeting psychological barriers to the rehabilitation process. This is targeted to claimants who exhibit psychological risk factors for disability.

The features adopted in such a program are the maintenance of an activity log, activity scheduling, walking program, increasing activity involvement and overcoming psychological obstacles.
