People from all walks of life have discovered the life-changing benefits of self-managing pain effectively

This course has been very reassuring and has given me comfort, knowing that I am not alone in having chronic pain. I know that together we can get through each day with positive thinking, patience and the tool box that they have provided. I now have a future, just not the one that I was expecting. Thank you so so much.

Very good for people with chronic pain

I feel more positive than I did before about my condition. Thank you.

It's been good getting the tips and things to try. Also the library to go back over things.

I really appreciated doing this course. The meditation sections were very helpful, also I realised that pain relief drugs aren’t always helpful, though still have bad days when I do need to take something. Thank you very much for all the practical help with exercise too.

It's impossible to isolate the effects of pain with the effects of other serious medical issues and this has affected my answers! Moreover some of the pain I have could be cured if clinically safe enough to do so, contrary to that stated on the course. There has been nothing on this course that I haven't already independently explored, which is encouraging in one respect . Living with multiple pain issues, and multiple medical conditions which are frequently being added to (with further diagnoses ) is overwhelming (not depressing ).

I have found the course helpful. But did find that quite a lot of it related to back pain which I don't have.

This is an excellent course if you are trying to find ways of managing your pain. It includes easy physical exercises, relaxations and meditations. You have access to these things after finishing the course.

The course is extremely good in giving aids to help support and strengthen mental understanding. It has helped to assist in relaxing and stop over thinking the worry of how I feel.

Enjoyed going through the course think it will help a lot of people, but due to my circumstance in my illness it wasn’t able to help me as much.

Didn't think it would help but it has. Made me re-evaluate my life. Made lots of positive changes and feel more able to cope with my pain and social events that I'd avoided before because of fear of a flare up.

Thanks to techniques learned on the course I have realized the importance of my attitude towards the pain, how changing the way I think about it can have a really positive effect. I haven't reached all my goals, but I am still on the journey. I'm not afraid of flare ups because I feel better equipped to deal with them.

At the start of the course I had little faith it would help me as I've had problems with pain over 10 years. Nothing seemed to work, I was fed up with endless doctors appointments, medication going up and down. The most helpful thing for me was to learn how to relax, let go of my fear of pain and to take back my feeling of control. Thank you.

Some of the course was very helpful with some practical ideas and useful information, however as a Christian didn't appreciate the hypnosis type mindfulness ideas, which have their origins in Eastern Religions. 

Very interesting different view of my pain conditions and how to manage them better than taking constant pain relief tablets. Will revisit the notes to concentrate on what has been taught and practice the advice given. I feel more hopeful now that I can overcome some of these problems using things taught on this course. Thanks a lot.

This course has helped me each and every day through a difficult time. Thanks to the steps provided it has helped me to combat my fatigue. I feel empowered and able to manage it so much better and feel able to complete tasks I enjoy and somehow manage the pain. Pacing has been a massive help. Pathway through pain is a breath of fresh air.
