Mindfulness

Anchor 1

We know that pain, particularly persistent pain is a result of multiple interactions between our physical, psychological, emotional and social state. Negative pain-related thoughts can impact and intensify pain. Inability to shift our attention away from pain-related thoughts; negative expectations based on previous memories of pain and negative self-statements significantly impact quality of life.

In recent years there has been extensive research proving the positive impacts of mindfulness practise on pain, depression and anxiety related quality of life.
