SynopsisChronic pain includes many types of conditions from a variety of causes. This book is designed to help those suffering from chronic pain learn to better manage pain so they can get on with living a satisfying, fulfilling life. This resource stresses four concepts: each person with chronic pain is unique, and there is no one treatment or approach that is right for everybody; there are many things people with chronic pain can do to feel better and become more active and involved in life; with knowledge and experimentation, each individual is the best judge of which self-management tools and techniques are best for him or her; and, the responsibility for managing chronic pain on a daily basis rests with the individual and no one else. Acknowledging that overcoming chronic pain is a daily challenge, this workbook provides readers with the tools to overcome that test. A Moving Easy Program CD, which offers a set of easy-to-follow exercises that can be performed at home, is also included.

  • A much needed book

    For those in chronic pain it provides a breath of fresh air with sound and practical advise on how to deal with the pain. It is not a book of cures or one of quackery and promises that says your pain will be taken away. It is a book on how to deal with your problem, your pain and supplies a framework to let you optimise the relief of your pain. There is a CD with basic exercises of therapeutic value and the advice of 'do what you can', modify the basic movements to suit you and your problem. For a chronic pain sufferer it is a genuine 'one size fits all' guide.
