Pain is much more than just a sensation. In the short term pain is there to protect us, but after 3 months or so it stops serving any protective purpose. Ongoing pain drags on our physical and emotional wellbeing, it is stressful, disabling, frustrating and worrying.

Investigations and treatments are often still aimed at trying to identify and ‘fix’ the site of the pain and we can end up in a never-ending cycle causing yet more stress! No wonder so many people give up! and become stuck with their pain and the belief that there is nothing else to be done.

Well there is! So don’t give up hope, stay open to the possibilities that things can and will change, as best you can.

This program brings together the how and why our systems produce the sensation of pain, helping us to understand how the biological factors interact with our thoughts and beliefs and the ‘what’s going on’ in our lives to produce and maintain the pain. Research shows that this understanding can help decrease the threat and uncertainty about pain and start to decrease its grip on our lives.

Armed with this knowledge and understanding, combined some practical advice we will start to retrain the nervous system with the guided mindfulness exercises. Despite the fact that the nervous system has learnt to sing the ‘tune of pain’ there is no reason we cannot teach it a different song. We can literally use our mind to physically change our brain, known as neuroplasticity. Our brain has the power to switch off the pain and allow us to recover, and this program teaches us how and why we should do this.

Each week there is a explanation page of what we doing, some narrated power point educational slides, quick tips and practical advice, and some guided mindfulness exercises to practice with each day, or as often as you can. Some lessons also include interesting videos that help illustrate the lesson.

There is nothing to loose and everything to gain from doing this training, so as the advert says ‘Just do it’!
