Explore how neuroplasticity links suffering to pain and learn structured self-management strategies, including mindfulness and breathing, to reduce pain and reclaim function.
Explore how tissue signals travel to the brain to create pain, and how neuroplasticity can amplify or dampen pain through brain interpretation and body chemistry.
Identify and manage bio, psycho, and social factors influencing pain by recognizing unhelpful responses to injury, and apply strategies to reduce their impact on suffering and function.
Practice relaxation techniques and the thought diffusion strategy to identify unhelpful thoughts, step back, consciously evaluate and decide whether to act, reducing anxiety and distress.
Practice slow breathing and mindfulness to ease stress and pain, track areas of tension, commit to daily sessions, and use audio guidance to build calmer coping over time.
Apply activity pacing to manage daily activities, from showering to exercise, and use a strategic, scientific approach to safely and gradually increase activity levels.
Practice activity pacing to reverse the boom and bust cycle, maintain a steady activity level, and use a safe baseline, 80 percent, increasing by 10 percent every 2–3 days.
Reflect on your walking program and activity planner to track successes and difficulties, strengthen communication, and support social well-being as you work toward reducing pain and restoring health and happiness.
