Wed. Jan 25, 2012 to Wed. Feb. 29, 2012, 7-9 pm at White Swan Sanctuary, 403 Lowe St, Whitehorse
We will start with a talk that integrates the latest research on pain science into practical techniques that give you new tools and understanding to manage pain. Based on Neil Pearson’s (Physical Therapist and Yoga Therapist) “Optimistic Scientific Model of Recovery”, this programme offers you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the neurophysiological principles in the talk so that you discover the relevance to your own situation. We then will practice and refine the techniques in a supportive group environment with the goal to experience change over the six weeks.
