Session Description

This workshop is designed to build on new advances in the treatment of pediatric functional abdominal pain disorders and contribute both with state of the art-overview of available treatments and their efficacy as well as a deepened presentation of both movement-based and psychological treatment approaches. Special attention will be given to how service providers across disciplines (physicians, mental health providers, etc.) can support youth in psychologically-minded ways. Dance and yoga with focus on enjoyment will be offered in the hands-on part of the workshop, which constitutes an example of a novel and resource-effective intervention that has shown pain-reliving effects for young girls with functional abdominal pain disorders.
