"Tame Your Pain"

When chronic pain persists, it can change your life. You might go out less, do less, you might think "I'll never be able to do the things I really want or have to do" and over time, you might feel very worried, even depressed.

Pain Scientists have discovered that your thoughts, feelings and actions, can affect the production of pain. We also understand when there is no identifiable cause or injury to explain why you are suffering, that persistent pain is the combination of complex nervous system changes. We like to think of this as an "overprotective nervous system".

If you are living with persistent pain you might feel isolated and misunderstood. In fact, living with a persistent pain issue is more common than you probably think. We understand that in Rural Australia about 1 in 4 people live with a persistent pain issue and that includes us in Northern Tasmania.

At In-Balance we have a team of health professionals who are committed to keeping up to date with the latest research into pain neuroscience and how to effectively support you when you are living with chronic or persistent pain.

Our group education facilitators have worked both individually and together, within the Northern Tasmanian community delivering Pain Education outreach programs and are Local Pain Educators involved with the Pain Revolution organisation.

Our aim, in the first instance, is to improve your functioning despite your pain. In many instances pain can and will reduce as you gain a better understanding of pain. It is well understood learning about pain whilst re training an overprotective nervous system is an effective treatment approach, particularly when information is facilitated in a group context where there is a shared experience.

"Tame Your Pain" content is aligned with contemporary pain biology neuroscience and draws from the research and development of the NOI (Neuro Orthopaedic Institute) Group who are among the movers and shakers of pain science and education for health advocates.

The "Tame your Pain" content should be viewed as an introduction to key pain biology concepts if your pain is failing to improve and you have been suffering pain for longer than 3 months.

Our program is responsive and able to cater for small numbers, creating a more intimate and non threatening environment with no lengthy wait lists. You can feel confident when participating, that the information will be easily understood and your views will be heard.

Groups are conducted at various times throughout the year. To find out when the next group will be running please call our helpful admin team on 63344766 or email us admin@inbalancephysio.com.au
