Learn strategies to help with chronic pain
MIAMI VALLEY — Chronic pain — pain that lasts longer than three to six months – can take both a physical and emotional toll. If your pain seems to control your life, making it difficult to enjoy the warmer spring days and blossoming trees and flowers, consider attending the free online pain management workshop offered by the Area Agency on Aging beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, May 7.
The proven strategies help to lessen pain and build healthy habits – all from the comfort and safety of home. The group meets for about two hours, once a week for six weeks. Free materials are shipped to participants’ homes so that they can set personal goals, learn new skills, and take control of their pain.
All you need to participate is an internet connection, microphone, and camera. For those not yet comfortable with Zoom, an orientation is offered before the first session begins.
Workshop topics include pain management, nutrition, exercise, medication use, emotions, and communicating with doctors and family about your pain. Moving Easy, a gentle movement program is introduced in week three, and participants receive a free CD to continue the program at home. Participants also receive the companion textbook, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain, and a relaxation CD.
Contact Ann to register before the April 27 deadline at (937) 567-0284 or [email protected].
