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

This is such a brilliant programme - everyone should have to do it! It’s not a magic wand which makes your pain go away, but the main way I have found it helpful is about teaching you a different mindset around dealing with pain when you have it. Feeling more positive about it. Knowing that it isn’t going to last forever when you have a flare up. Understanding that it’s not the end of the world to have to make some mental adjustments to what you thought the rest of your life was going to look like. Knowing that pain is NOT damage makes life a lot less frightening. Knowing that staying active is usually better than doing nothing and hoping it gets better on its own is quite empowering. Thank you so much. I have found this programme so valuable and I will always be grateful for the learning I am taking from it.

I really enjoyed the online course and being able to do it in my own time. I have found all of the different learning techniques extremely helpful and have been practising them as often as possible getting them into my daily routine. I also found all the meditation and relaxation exercises very helpful and beneficial. Being able to learn a different approach towards pain has helped massively and I will continue to do this. Thank you

Surprisingly the meditation videos really helped me properly relax myself with my PMR. It didn't get rid of it, but it helped me cope with it better.

This course is amazing. I had done a fair bit of research on pain management beforehand, but after doing this course I have learnt even more. I found it so easy to understand and the relaxation videos often sent me to sleep. It's so good tgat you can access the library even when you've finished the course. I highly recommend it.

Somewhat helpful but most of it came from me and my own health being mended with the problem I had for 18 months been solved last month thru big surgery now I have almost no pain or very little and most of it is just discomfort from the surgery

The process of working thru this programme has helped me recognise a number of things that happen when I am in pain. Appreciating this has helped me cope better-everyday is different. I feel more aware of small things that are having an impact on me. I do use many of the strategies to help me get thru the difficult days.

all of you have being great team as helpful also amazingly well, it means alot to me for how helpful you all are i pray that every patients gives beautiful words as you all desrve it honestly im saying this from the heart many thanks for everything.

Great course would recommend to individuals suffering with pain

It's a good program. But felt alit I could not listen to due to be deaf. Such as the medications and music also felt that in some places it was kinda saying its all in my head the pain and the depression that comes with fair dos. It's given me something g of a positive mind. But how Ling the poative will stay I'm not sure. However. Because of this I've got in the mindset to lose weight so I have applied for mounjaro injections to help me along as I did comfort eat to make me feel better. Not helpful. Thank you for allowing me to do this program I will mind how I go x

I have found the whole 24steps helpful and supportive. The whole process is explained in a way everyone can understand. Personally hate taking medication so found the stretching and meditation exercises particularly helpful. The way it is presented is especially helpful as you complete at your own pace and there’s no pressure on you to complete you can do at your own pace I would recommend this program to everyone who has or is suffering pain and limitations on everyday activities.

Thankyou so much for all the help and support you have given me. Sometimes we want things to work quicker than they do I will keep going back to the library and watching and doing the mindfulness. Been a bit harder towards the end as I have fractured 2 ribs 8 weeks ago by turning over in bed. And getting in and out my daughters car I have fractured the same 2and 2ribs on the other side which I am having difficulty with. Once again thankyou for all you help and I will miss listening to your talks and the help you have all given me.

Didn't find that this course helped

This is a great programme to follow if you are suffering from Fibermyalgia with constant muscle pain. It worth persuing all the techniques in the programme in order manage your pain. The meditation techniques are amazing, really take on board your environment and just listen and relax. The pain and sleep meditation really helped me. I now have a positive approach to the pain I feel and how to deal with it. I no longer feel I have to complete everything and its OK to relax and rest without feeling guilty. I have started to swim on a regular basis and walking regularly, challenging myself to improve my physical fitness along with keeping mindfull not too dwell on any pain I may suffer from it. I feel now it is mind over matter. This course should be offered to all pain sufferers from the first onset instead of prescribing medication. I am looking forward to a better quality of life and not feeling I am redundant at 60.

I've been practicing the excersises, stretches and relaxation techniques which have helped immensely. I continue to have pain, however, I manage it much better. I think activities through prior to completion and don't set unattainable goals. I feel much happier and healthier.

Go for it ! It's worth trying when i began I did find it very helpful and it's well worth doing the course thankyou to everyone who's appeared on the videos you've been a great help

Yes this program works at the beginning as I hoped it would but as times gone on I still can't walk more than 100yards then the pain starts so I stay in my flat most and get taxis wherever I go But this would definitely work for some you must try it

I was a bit sceptical at first because I have done other online courses and found it really hard to engage, but this program was so refreshing and I really began to question myself about my pain and how I could control it. The biggest thing I took away was ‘pain does not mean damage’. I found all the videos really helpful and felt I was being spoken to and not at talked at. The meditation videos in my library are especially helpful to me and for the first time after trying so many times I could actually stop thinking of things and totally relax. So thank you for making me realise that even with pain I can have a life
