A Drug Free Approach to Pain Management

·        Relieve your pain

·        Reduce the need for prescription drugs

• Positively manage your condition

This is a two or three hour workshop where you can learn to manage your pain so it has less impact on your mood, your sleep and your energy. It will be helpful for people suffering rheumatoid or osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, migraine and other painful conditions. It will complement other measures you are taking to control your pain and will not interfere with prescription drugs.

It will be run by Clare Walters www.clarewaltershealth.co.uk who has 12 years’ experience of treating chronic pain at Barnsley Hospital and in private practice.

Comments from people who have used Clare’s techniques:

‘It calms me down if I am anxious or stressed. I use it in bed when I have pain and I am able to get to sleep and the next day it is better.’

‘The process releases the stiffness. It also helps with the tiredness and it eases the pain.’

‘Since using the Pain Release Technique I have slept a lot better and do not wake as tense so there is less of a problem in the day. I have not taken any pain killers for three weeks’

To book send £30 to Clare Walters, 42 Station Rd, Skelmanthorpe HD8 9AU or for more information call Clare Walters on 01484 866747

A medical herbalist uses the Pain Release Technique

I am a medical herbalist and I am becoming increasingly interested in using mindfulness techniques to support my patients so I attended Clare's workshop two weeks ago.

So far I have just been practicing the technique on myself. I am starting a new job at Leeds Met University soon and I have been nervous about teaching a group of students. I have used the PRT on the anxiety and on the physcal tension that goes along with it. When I do the technique both the anxiety and the tension melt away.

We do not allow time to listen to our inner voices and see how they are sabotaging us. The PRT has helped me to do this and I now have a quiet confidence that it is OK to be me! Sue Salmon.
