Did you know chronic pain changes your brain? Treatment approaches designed for acute injuries are often not effective for chronic musculoskeletal pain that has lasted for more than three months. Managing chronic pain requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes addressing the neurological adaptations driven by the cycle of pain.
Many people go for months or years without finding effective relief. Even when pain management is overseen by a physician, those struggling with chronic pain day to day need strategies that help them calm the nervous system, reduce muscle tension, and experience a sense of comfort and ease in their own bodies.
This is where mindful movement approaches like the Feldenkrais Method can play a transformative role in improving the quality of life of individuals suffering from chronic pain. The movements of this technique are done slowly and gently, coordinating across the entire body to cultivate not only an improved mind-body connection, but also a deeply restful and nourishing experience of calm. This is the calm that hyper-vigilante nervous systems need to begin interrupting the cycle of pain, inflammation, muscle tension, and fear of movement, that systematically rewrite the neural patterns modulating pain, body image, and movement quality.
