Mind-Body Coach
CurrentI help people who suffer from chronic back pain, muscle tension and/or functional disorders to free themselves from the constant effort of "managing" their symptoms, and move towards healing and reducing their pain significantly.Being in pain permanently is a frustrating experience and if it has lasted for months or even years, then you know how distracting it can be as you try to go about your daily routine. Work, family time, social events, sports and many other areas of your life can become restricted, and it can be tiring going through the motions while still no closer to healing or becoming pain free.Thankfully, this doesn't have to be everlasting.Science supports the idea that types of stress - daily and chronic - the way we think, our repressed emotions and our capacity to 'learn' pain can all play a part in our persistent back pain. My intention is to help you figure out your own mind-body approach to recovery through my offer of one to one coaching, using proven, science based methods.I suffered with chronic back pain and muscle tension for the best part of 25 years and I finally found an approach that worked and put me on a path towards healing. The technique is called Somatic Tracking and is part the Pain Reprocessing Therapy programme, created by Alan Gordon - author of 'The Way Out' and director of the Pain Psychology Centre in California. This article sums up the latest research, where 66% of people with chronic back pain either became pain free, or significantly reduced their pain through this method: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/15/chronic-pain-brain-plasticity/If you have any questions about how this works in practice, please feel free contact me.
