CPPSG now has a website, http://www.cppsg.squarespace.com/
If you go there, and click on "achived newsletters", you will be able to access all the old issues, plus this new one (attached below) with a new look.
(:thumbs_up Dave Walton built the site and designed the new format!)

Here is the new May edition of the CPPSG newsletter.
Hello all,

The Canadian Physiotherapy Pain Sciences Group is pleased to send you a preview of the May edition of Nociception?, the newsletter of the Canadian Physiotherapy Pain Sciences Group. (No viruses, don't worry.)
You will be able to access it later, any time, by going to our website at http://cppsg.squarespace.com/ and clicking on "archived newsletters" in the menu on the right.

We hope you will find your senses and intellect stimulated by our latest issue. If you have any feedback we'd love to hear from you, either with a comment on the site itself or by email to one of us.

Also, please note that we accept submissions from readers. If you are a PT (or not!) with an interest in pain and something to share from your experience, perspective, or study, send us your raw offerings. Neil Pearson, our trusty editor, will graciously help you through any necessary steps. This group and our newsletter exist to help bring pain into better professional perspective - take advantage of us!

Thanks for reading along,
Diane

Enjoy!

Here is the July/07 issue. To view the links, they must be copy/pasted. Clicking them directly leads to error pages.

Well, you can click and let the error page come up. You can then go up to the url and delete all the garbage that some little internet gremlin adds on at the end of the address line, then highlight it and hit "enter"; that works, but might as well copy/paste. :p

You'll see a nice picture of most of us with Lorimer, taken early in June.

Hi Diane,

I linked to your latest newsletter over at www.painandmovement.org

[Diane]

Thank you! Why didn't I think of that? You're hired.

[Jon Newman]

I'm not sure you can afford me Diane (Ha!)

[Diane]

Here is Vol3No5 - hot off the press! :clap2:

[Diane]

Hi everyone,
Here is the latest edition of Nociception? for your reading enjoyment.

[BB]

I see Mike has an article in there. Way to go, Mike!

[Diane]

Not only that, but Mike is a new member of our steering committee. Congratulations to Mike. :teeth:

[Diane]

Here is Issue 4.1.

[Diane]

Issue 4.2 is hot off the press. Wish us luck - we're almost through the hoop to becoming an official division but not ...quite... :)

[BB]

Another gem, Diane.

You all should consider sending this to faculty at all of the accredited PT schools in the US and canada.

[Diane]

Thanks Cory. I think all sorts of possibilities will arise once we've become an official division of CPA.

You should start a pain SIG in the US. Then we could eventually be sister groups.

[Diane]

Great news! :teeth::thumbs_up

It's official: CPPSG is no more. We have just been turned into an official division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.

Our new name will be, the Canadian Physiotherapy Pain Science Division.

:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: (This is the six of us on the executive clapping.)

[Nick]

Awesome. I can hardly wait to pay my dues!

[Diane]

Nick, you should get a specially framed receipt, seeing as how this whole idea was your baby way back in 2004.

[Bas]

WOW WOW WOW

VERY COOL! Thanks to all those tireless PTs - Diane, Nick, Neil, Dave - a very important accomplishment that may herald a paradigm shift in Canadian PT. It WILL be slow, but now there is an engine to drive the change. Man, this is great!

[Diane]

all those tireless PTs
Especially Neil.
He was the one who finally got the ball though the goal posts, back in February.
He flew to Ottawa specifically to attend a division chair meeting, was able to do a half hour presentation on CPPSG, with power point no less. He outlined the group, what each of us were doing, what we did as a group.
It didn't hurt that he already had developed excellent relations with CPA by presenting pain lectures at two congresses by then, and had the three webcasts linked all over the place. Anyway, it has happened, and we couldn't be more pleased. :)

Congratulations :clap2::clap2::clap1::clap1::thumbs_up
