Everyone came back for week 2 of the Pain Managment course in Peebles. I have a good feeling for this group that they are going to get quite a bit out of it. There are a lot of open minds. This week we introduced pain, what chronic pain is, the Gate Theory, discussed ways that we can make our nervous system ramp up or reduce the pain and also looked at medications. To end up the session we did a little bit of Qi Gong.
We’ve moved from the room we were in last week to a nice bright airy room in the day hospital. What a difference. Much brighter, easier to access and most importantly has a small kitchen area where we can make teas and coffees. Looking forward to next week, week 3, now.
