Demystifying
Pain
Why do
some pains go away, and others seem to linger on and on
and on? Why
do some people end up with chronic pain, and others don't?
Are some pains really "all in your head?" What
is the Body - Mind connection when it comes to pain?
What does "no pain, no gain" really mean if I'm
already in a lot of pain?
Knowledge
is Power. Come to this dynamic workshop and get a complete
understanding of the difference between pain in your muscles,
joints, nerves, and your BRAIN. Learn how to resolve long
lasting pain experiences and what kind of exercise is "safe"
even if there is some pain and discomfort. Learn how mindfulness
and self-pacing can help you get more done when pain keeps
getting in your way.
Quick,
Easy Fixes for Stress and Pain
(The perfect follow up to "Demystifying Pain")
Learn
invaluable ways to change the chronic fight-or-flight response
to stress and bring moments of peace into your busy life.
Stress affects all components of our health: musculo-skeletal,
immune, cardiovascular, respiratory, emotional, and relational.
Discover simple techniques that can be used anytime of the
day and night to help notch down the pace of your treadmill
that keeps you from enjoying your life to the fullest. Research
shows that the number one factor that negatively affects
all aspects of health is STRESS. This is also one thing
that you CAN control.
