Of course you would! Chronic pain is a huge personal burden and very common in the adult population across the world.

Acute pain is a protective pain, keeping us safe and ensuring we can grow up into able adults. It is a vital part of life even though we don't appreciate it when it occurs!

Chronic pain is a widespread condition and limits the lives of millions of people. It does not seem to have any protective function or any purpose in life, it is a useless pain. However, despite being of no help to anyone, chronic pain persists and is a very important aspect of many people's lives.

Treatments For Chronic Pain

While the treatment for acute pain is relatively clear and straightforward, treatment for chronic pain is nothing like as simple. This is shown by the vast number of therapies proposed and offered for chronic pain sufferers.

A common thread running through all the treatments for chronic pain is this, none of them work very well. You will have seen all the ads for back pain therapy and many different therapies, all the claims in the media from health gurus. You may well have tried some of them yourself.

After over ten years running Pain Management Programmes, I have had lots of experience of the things that work for chronic pain and those that don't. Pacing is one of the most effective and useful pain management strategies.

What do you do when you wake up and it's a better day than usual? I'll bet you take advantage of less pain and get piled in to all the things you wanted to do for so long. I'll bet your pain then stops you dead at some point and that your next two to three days are not good for you..

Yes, that's the Over and Under Activity Cycle that we often fall into, whether we have chronic pain or not. If you don't have pain then it doesn't matter very much. If you have chronic pain it matters a whole lot.

Pacing For Chronic Pain

What I have described above it typical for chronic pain sufferers. It is a good example of where pain controls our activities, deciding for us when we can start an activity. It also decides, more worryingly, when we have to stop an activity. When pain is in control then we are not.

Pacing allows a way out of this trap and is a successful technique vouched for by many thousands of chronic pain sufferers. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

How will you feel when you can do the things you want to again? When you have regained control over your own body and can plan your life the way you decide? The “Secrets of Pacing” can show you how!
