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

I am a physio assistant working in MSK and wanted to do your course to 1. Increase my knowledge of chronic pain, and 2. to experience for myself the course to know if it is appropriate to recommend to my patients. I have found the course very helpful and will be recommending to patients. Thank you.

The course has helped me to obtain a better appreciation of my problems and I shall continue to practise what I have learned. Many thanks to the experts who have contributed their skills and experience to guiding me along the "Pathway".

I found the information helpful, however apart from the breathing part I didn't feel much benefit.

 I have found your course helpful, but it is a pity that it has coincided with my ankle problem, which has nothing to do with persistent pain as, although I have had no pain while in the boot, it and not persistent pain, has of course limited my mobility. But, living near the water, I have still been able to enjoy my kayak by wearing a waterproof boot leg and workman’s boot cover found on the internet. There is always a way! Thank you for the course. I will use your library while I am convalescing.

Very informative and in depth covering the aspects that chronic pain encompasses in day to day life.

Completing the course has made me feel more positive and optimistic at being able to manage my pain. I found the course easy to follow, and generally helpful and encouraging. I would recommend anyone who was given the opportunity to take part in the course to do so. Some of the information was already known to me, but it is good to have information repeated sometimes. I found the relaxation techniques particularly helpful.

This course was all I could do. My life has been turned upside down with pain.

The Mindfulness was good & I learned how to pace myself better.

I found the course helpful, and would recommend for others. Even if I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and scoliosis. I still have my backpain, some days more worse than other times. But the course very helpful. 

Good course to get started helping yourself. Would recommend.

Thank you! I have found all of the information and advice extremely helpful especially the guided meditations. I would highly recommended this course to anyone suffering from chronic pain.

The positivity from this course has helped me to have the confidence to start the new year with a new job. I was always very careful in what I did because I believed that pain meant damage and now I am doing a lot more and working through the pain, being careful to pace myself. Many thanks to the whole team for all the help you have given me.

I found this course extremely useful and informative. It was very easy and clear to follow with each step. I especially found the meditation exercises beneficial and I will be continuing them. There is a lot to think about and it can really be put into place in my daily living. Many thanks!

Excellent well-structured course which includes elements such as the relaxation exercises which I would not previously have considered as part of pain management.

I have learnt some new information and techniques that are helpful and being able to go to the library and return to certain aspects of exercise is really helpful.

Thanks for all the guidance of helping me cope with the pain. Just want to add that I have recently achieved one of my goals and that was passing my driving test.

As a new member of the Chronic Pain team it was very useful for me to experience the online PMP as a patient would see it.

The meditation has been really useful. I have definitely felt an improvement in my movements and sleep. It's really helped me sleep better so I feel I have more energy. I have found by sleeping better I am more positive and more mobile. Keep going and finish the course, it definitely has helped me with my overall pain and mobility.

Overall the course was quite helpful, especially the meditation. I found the relaxation certainly helped me to begin to understand the pain, although it did not disappear. But I did not expect it to. 

The course helped reinforce key messages about pain and how to manage it. It allowed me to have a better understanding of chronic pain. The difficulty of the course is being disciplined enough to put it into practise day to day, especially when pacing and flare ups are dictated by work schedules. That aside, challenging negativity in thinking and consistency in efforts to achieve are the things that I take away to work on day to day.
