#chronicpainhowtolivewithit here's a little bit of pain neuroscience from @KConlinetherapy and some coping strategies from me as part of the #HypnOT series. jboccupationaltherapy.co.uk/hypnot-session…
#chronicpainhowtolivewithit A little discussion around communicating pain and the problems with traditional pain scales - jboccupationaltherapy.co.uk/pain-scales-st…
#chronicpainhowtolivewithit Pacing is essential to managing chronic pain and fatigue. It's usually taught badly and is often misunderstood. I am PASSIONATE about teaching pacing. There's gonna be a few more pacing links... jboccupationaltherapy.co.uk/pacing/
#ChronicPainHowToLiveWithIt I actually teach a Pacing masterclass. The wonderful @natashalipman wrote about her experiences going through it and how her view on pacing changed for the better. natashalipman.com/pacing-masterc…
#ChronicPainHowToLiveWithIt Following on from @natashalipman 's last post here's a little Pacing Q&A we worked on together! natashalipman.com/qa-pacing-chro…
