Empower health professionals and patients to play active roles in the rehabilitation process. Encourage basic and clinical research on how mind and movement affect disabling pain. Facilitate the translation of evidence into clinical practice and to mediate the implementation of new diagnostics and treatments. Foster communication between researchers, clinicians and patients to drive research and stimulate international study.
