Pathway through Pain Opiniões 

Lots of useful information, presented in a way that enables you to digest it properly. Learnt some new things and it reinforced others that I already knew/did. Highly recommended for people suffering from persistent pain. It’s not a cure all program but I feel it’s designed to help you understand pain and give you ways to manage your pain and to avoid a build up of stress mentally and physically that can add to your pain levels. For example, If you learn how to relax/meditate then you mentally often have more ability to deal with pain. If you condition your body/muscles then you won’t be so tense which will lessen some pain. If you have a ‘bad’ day with your pain, I feel you learn the mindset that it’s ok, take a break, do a little, try again tomorrow. I think it holds a good philosophy that has changed my outlook of living with persistent pain.

I’m afraid that although the relaxation helps short term, the long term pain is still there and impacting on my everyday life.

Comprehensive program, however did not provide anything new that I did not already know. I felt that it was pitched too low.

Although the ideas for pain are helpful it does not take the pain away

For me it was for mental health, I don't have any mental health issues lol waist of my time

First of all the whole process was very easy to do.It was nice I could do this in my own time. The videos were easy to understand and follow. I liked the talk about the structure of a back and spine and what a protruding disc looked like and the effects this could have on you. I liked the deep breathing exercises,and the stretching exercises. I did not quite enjoy the 20 minute relaxation video. I was completing this course during my working hours so was using my work laptop which is linked to a monitor. I found it exceptionally difficult to relax in a seated position. However as a whole, i found this course helpful and beneficial and really enjoyed this programme. Well done and thank you

Didn't feel this was worthwhile.

the course wasnt very helpful as my physical health has got worse n currently trying to get tests done so didnt help me unfortunately

I think these meditative techniques are very useful but they must be accompanied by in-person physiotherapy practice, which is irreplaceable in this type of problems.

I found this very helpful, and the relaxation video’s have really helped me.

I found it impossible to do the relaxing due to pain being constantly bad..also some of the exercise are totally impossible for me .my body don't move like that I did try

I found this course brilliant and a way to look at dealing with my pain in new ways. It is designed in different steps to made it easier to take each section on board and work on it. I love the fact that it’s always available for me to log back in and remind myself of the key sections.

Very informative

Enjoyed it was explained how to control my pain with easy steps to follow and not to be too hard on myself

Very informative, lots of things explained that I never knew.The relaxation techniques are useful.

Very well put together course. Extremely informative and worthwhile doing. Particularly enjoyed the meditations they were brilliant they helped manage my pain better as did the exercises.

Easy to navigate through the modules. Interesting subjects. Very helpful techniques.

Some of the recommendations were quite understandable, but if you have Chronic pain already you would have tried them long ago. The one part that affects you and your family more is the fact that owing to pain you sometimes cant control your temper or mood, this is what should have been expressed more and answers found. As this single thing does affect your family life and can destroy a family.

Help fully thank you

Was not sure about doing the course. But after doing the course I have felt better in mind how to cope with my pain how to relax and cut my mind off at night.
