"Initially, I was sceptical about how this program would help me manage my pain, especially considering the type of pain I had. However, I am glad that I signed up for the online program and was able to complete it at my own pace. I learned a great deal from it and now have a better understanding of how to manage my pain without constantly relying on medications, particularly when they are not effective. I also found the meditations to be incredibly beneficial; they helped me relax and fall asleep. Many thanks to all the instructors!"

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.

What's on the program

Pathway through Pain delivers all the elements of an intensive Pain Management Program (PMP). Individuals are led through 24-steps comprising of pre-recorded videos, exercises and assignments to practise in their own time.

The objective of the program is for participants to improve their health questionnaire scores for Anxiety (GAD-7), Depression (PHQ-9) and Musculoskeletal Health (MSK-HQ). This is achieved through the practice of pain self-management methods, exercise, lifestyle changes and cognitive approaches learnt throughout the program. 

We recommend participants aim to complete the program in a month, but it can be done at their own pace, taking breaks when needed. There are also set break points within the program to help pace progress.

By the end, participants will have gained knowledge and practical skills to foster over the long-term, which help to let go of the fear of pain and see there are ways and means to live a normal life again.

GETTING STARTED

Participants meet the pain-medicine experts who will be guiding and supporting them, and learn about the mechanics of pain and the way we think about pain. We assess how pain is affecting different areas of their lives.

relaxation and meditation

Individuals explore and practice relaxation and meditation techniques to manage pain. Learn about the relationship between tension and pain and improve their approach to pain recovery activities such as sleep.

Psychological Tools

Participants learn to understand chronic pain and fear it less. Re-examine their thoughts about pain and the situations they occur in. Explore ways to challenge and change unhelpful thinking about pain. 

Stretching Programme

We introduce a simple stretching program that helps participants manage persistent pain. Understand the physical effects and multiple benefits of stretching and practice simple exercises that improve body condition. 

Measuring and Assessing 

An individuals initial pain assessment also enables them to measure progress, see what is most effective and find the approach to pain management that works best. An optional confidential journal helps them to keep a private record of their struggles and achievements with pain management.

GOING FORWARD

Continued access to the program library containing resources including The Home Stretching Programme and the Passive Relaxation Exercise.

The Pain Training Team

A multi-disciplinary expert team present the program on video, providing tips and practical advice to keep participants feeling supported and motivated.
